(San Diego, Calif.) November 1, 2006 – As part of its commitment to enhancing the lives of its members, Vistage International, the world’s leading chief executive organization, introduces Vistage Healthnet, a new benefit of membership offering unparalleled VIP access to some of the best doctors and medical institutions in the world.
Vistage Healthnet grows out of a partnership with the Healthnet Foundation (www.healthnetfoundation.org), a non-profit organization that has been providing concierge medical service to a select group of CEOs, presidents and business owners since 1991. Vistage Healthnet is part of membership in Vistage and there is no additional cost to members.
When a Vistage member (or a family member) needs medical care, initial diagnosis or a second opinion, Vistage Healthnet will arrange for them to be seen at one of the most innovative, state-of-the-art hospitals in the U.S. This includes six of the top 10 U.S. hospitals, as ranked by U.S. News and World Report, including Johns Hopkins Hospital, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Duke University Medical Center, UCLA Medical Center and UCSF Medical Center.
Other Vistage Healthnet benefits include:
- Access to advanced diagnostic medical screenings and wellness services
- A unique Health Inventory network where Vistage members can connect with other CEOs and presidents for confidential input on shared medical conditions and experiences
- A Health Information Search service featuring up-to-date medical information from trusted leaders in medicine
“Vistage Healthnet is designed to help our members cut through red tape to gain access to many of the country's top hospitals and specialists quickly,” says Rafael Pastor, Vistage CEO and Chairman of the Board. “This service ensures that any serious medical situation involving a Vistage member or loved one is handled with attentive, uncompromising support and unmatched medical competence.”
“We are very pleased to be working with Vistage,” says William Rowley, Chairman of Healthnet Foundation. “Healthnet looks forward to assisting Vistage members and providing them with a direct and vital link to the world’s top hospitals.”
