How does Wellpoint help individuals prevent illness?
The WellPoint comprehensive physical assessment gives clients personal wellness baseline and a blueprint to improve health and prevent illness. We use special imaging and biochemical markers to help identify the warning signs of illness. For example, high Homocysteine levels have shown a strong correlation with cardiac disease but Homocysteine tests are not covered by OHIP. Other tests are used to diagnose the risk of heart attack and stroke, cancer and other issues, and we work with our clients to prevent the risk of illness. For instance, our nutritionist can prescribe a healthy diet plan and our kinesiologists can develop a customized fitness program designed to boost energy and performance. We can even assess workplace ergonomics to minimize risk of workplace injuries and occupational musculoskeletal illness.
