This two-part process ensures a thorough and meticulous evaluation of your health.

  • Is the Comprehensive Assessment service primarily focused on preventive care or addressing existing health concerns?
  • Our Comprehensive Assessment service strikes a perfect balance between preventive care and the management of any current health issues you may have. It offers an in-depth analysis of your overall health, integrating screening for possible health risks and pinpointing any existing conditions.

    This dual approach fosters overall well-being, enabling us to catch potential health problems in their earliest stages. If treatment becomes necessary, our prompt intervention ensures you receive the best care at the right time.

  • Are follow-up consultations or treatments included in the Comprehensive Assessment package?
  • Upon completing the Comprehensive Assessment, you will receive a detailed Health Action Plan. This plan outlines your results and our recommendations based on the assessment findings. To ensure the smooth execution of this plan, your dedicated Nurse Case Manager will take charge of arranging all necessary referral appointments as suggested in the Health Action Plan, in alignment with the discussions held with your doctor during the assessment.

    Once we at La Vie Health receive all the results from the referrals and diagnostic tests, a final follow-up appointment is scheduled, typically about three months after the assessment. This meeting is a critical juncture where we meticulously review the findings and recommendations outlined in the Health Action Plan. It’s an opportunity for you to fully understand your health status, ask any questions, and receive further guidance or support as needed.

    Completing the Comprehensive Assessment, followed by the final follow-up appointment, marks the conclusion of your comprehensive health evaluation process. This journey ensures you’re armed with the necessary knowledge and guidance to take control of your well-being effectively.

    For ongoing health management and personalized care beyond the Comprehensive Assessment, we invite you to join our exclusive Medical Concierge Program, Point One Care. This elite program offers a plethora of additional benefits and services, meticulously tailored to address your unique health needs.

    Whether you’re in the blossoming stage of childhood, the prime of adulthood, or the golden years of seniorhood, the Comprehensive Assessment serves as a vital instrument in paving the way for early detection, managing health conditions, and fostering optimal well-being. It’s a comprehensive look at your health that is as unique as you are.
