01. Cleveland Clinic Executive Health

A key reason to choose the Cleveland Clinic’s program is the relatively long-term executive health experience of its doctors. This means that beyond being experts in their fields at a top national medical center, the clinic’s doctors also understand “the stresses and pressures that executives face every day,” notes Dr. Richard Lang, department chair of preventative medicine and a staff physician in executive health. A central focus of the program is creating a space where executives, especially men, feel comfortable talking about their health and lifestyle.

As proof of the quality of care, Jorgensen points out that MDVIP has a 94 percent retention rate and a readmission rate (the rate at which patients must return to a hospital after an illness) of just 1 percent.

08. New York University Tisch Center for Men’s Health

The mantra at NYU’s Tisch Center for Men’s Health is “competency and compassion” in medical care, says Dr. Steven Lamm, medical director of the New York facility which, as the name implies, focuses on men’s health. The new center boasts innovative technology such as palm-print scanners to access patients’ medical records, “yet there’s really a sense that you are in an academic setting” and have the support of an institution, notes Lamm. The intent is to “care for men in health and in illness,” he says, adding that the conventional executive health exam is “almost useless” without follow-up. Instead, the Tisch Center treats screening “as a springboard for ongoing care.”
