The assessments, performed at Mount Sinai West hospital, aim to detect and prevent heart disease, according to a Jan. 28 news release from the health system. 

The checkups occur during a single day and include blood analysis, an electrocardiogram, an exercise stress echocardiography test, a peripheral vascular evaluation, imaging, urinalysis, coronary artery calcium scores and lipid profiling. Men will also receive prostate-specific antigen and testosterone tests, the release said. 

A team of specialists will review the test and imaging results to determine if follow-up is necessary, which can be coordinated within the Mount Sinai network. 

The Comprehensive Health Program is a self-pay bundled program and not covered by insurance, according to the release.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
