I stopped at the Healthnetwork Foundation's booth at the 2008 EO Las Vegas University and tossed in my business card for a free executive physical. I thought nothing more about it until after the event, when I received word that I had won.
Had it not been for Healthnetwork's booth, I don't think I would have considered an executive physical as a priority. My health is not a concern unless something is wrong. I'm not the type to worry about something that doesn't seem to be broken.
Through the Healthnetwork Foundation, I was quickly linked to UCSF Medical Center, a Healthnetwork GOLD hospital, for my physical. I frequently travel to San Francisco, California, USA, so it made sense for the Healthnetwork Foundation to refer me to that facility.
I've had some good physicals in the past, but nothing as comprehensive as this. The fact that I could schedule all of these specialized tests with one phone call was such a relief, since-like most entrepreneurs-I focus on so many things other than my health.
The executive physical was well executed, and my liaison took care of everything. Other patients were waiting with paperwork while I breezed through. It truly felt like a VIP experience.
I now realize the importance of these preventive care visits, and I'm going to think of my health each year when I evaluate my yearly plan. EO and the Healthnetwork Foundation are providing us with a wonderful opportunity, and I'm definitely going to take advantage of it again.
Afterall, as the CEO of my own business, don't I owe it to myself, my business and my family to take care of my most important asset- me?
