Mercy Executive Wellness
What is Executive Wellness?
Mercy’s Executive Wellness Program is more than a physical or yearly checkup; it's a complete survey of your overall health. It includes genetic testing, focusing on preventive medicine: preventing disease altogether or detecting and treating potential health challenges in the early stages before they become serious.
Executive wellness is designed for busy professionals. We understand the demands on your time and the toll that stress takes on your health. The Executive Wellness program considers the unique circumstances, stressors, and demands of high-pressure occupations. We then address sources of potential problems… and give you an individualized plan for healthier living going forward.
The Increasing Importance of Personalized Health Care
Personalized health care is a fast-growing feature of American medicine as we increasingly realize that one size doesn't fit all. By taking into account your age, genetics, gender, medical history, lifestyle, environmental factors, and more, we can tailor a plan exclusively for you that improves your patient experience and leads to better outcomes and better quality of life.
Why Choose Executive Wellness at Mercy?
Following your assessments, you'll receive a packet containing your full results as well as a personalized plan for maintaining and enhancing your health, including:
- Dietary guidance
- Exercise recommendations
- General wellness tips & advice

Multi-Cancer Early Detection Test
The multi-cancer early detection test (MCED) is a simple blood test that can detect more than 50 types of cancer, including many not screened for today. It can also alert you to aggressive, hard-to-detect, often fatal types of cancer like pancreatic, ovarian, and esophageal cancers. The earlier the cancer is found, the higher the chance of successful treatment and survival.
Hereditary Cancer Testing
Germline genetic testing uses a saliva sample to determine if you have gene mutations that increase your risk for certain hereditary cancers. If you have a family history of cancer, it’s possible that you inherited specific changes in your genes. These altered genes cause one in eight cancers. Mercy offers genetic testing and personalized genetic counseling to help you understand your results and design a preventive care plan specific to your needs.
Specialized Tests Tailored for You
These tests help us determine more about your specific needs and state of health. The results from these tests give us a uniquely multifaceted look at your overall health. They help us create a plan expressly tailored for you. It's an essential function of precision medicine.
