When Vincent Sorgi took over as president and CEO of PPL Corporation in 2020, he made it a priority to balance the needs of the role in leading the energy giant with maintaining his health. Part of that balance includes the St. Luke’s ExecuHealth program, which Vince has participated in multiple times.
St. Luke’s ExecuHealth, launched in 2015, is a one-day, one-stop executive health and wellness program customized to those who never have enough hours in the day and whose health concerns often end up at the bottom of the priority list.
This one-day, comprehensive physical is tailored to fit demanding schedules, sparing busy executives the daunting prospect of scheduling 15 separate medical appointments. With just one phone call, participants schedule one appointment to receive a full-body evaluation with the region’s top medical professionals. In addition to routine checks, participants can access more sophisticated screenings that they otherwise wouldn’t receive unless they were showing symptoms.
“From a health perspective, especially around disease, you want to ensure you’re catching things early,” Sorgi said. “The great thing about St. Luke’s ExecuHealth program is the quality and convenience of the check-up. They do extremely comprehensive testing all in one day, including blood tests. You review the test results and a full report with a panel of specialist doctors at the end of the day. Even though it all happens in one day, it is very comprehensive and a high-quality assessment of your health.”
“ExecuHealth transforms the traditional executive physical from a data gathering exam into a fully integrated, head-to-toe evaluation – in just one day,” says Director of Strategic Operations Sarah Weimer. “ExecuHealth provides each client with a clear, comprehensive understanding of their health, along with a personalized plan to maintain or enhance their well-being.”
St. Luke’s ExecuHealth begins with a focused, evidence-based, and comprehensive assessment of your physical condition, nutritional and fitness status, health history, and health concerns. You can expect to:
- Undergo a physical exam and necessary studies/screenings, including audiology, cardiology, and radiology, along with routine bloodwork
- Consult with our fitness and nutrition experts
- Participate in a same-day wellness review with your personal wellness concierge and ExecuHealth care team. During this review, the team will discuss your results and the path forward to maintaining your optimal health.
Throughout the ExecuHealth experience, you’ll have a dedicated physician concierge coordinating your itinerary, ensuring you get the services you need during your one-day evaluation.
“I really appreciate the quality and convenience of the program,” Sorgi said. “Another benefit of this program is that it is part of the St. Luke’s University Health Network, an award-winning network that offers high-quality, comprehensive care. The ExecuHealth doctors are the top experts in their fields. I ended up changing my primary care physician to one of my ExecuHealth doctors. St. Luke’s is just a phenomenal health network here in the Lehigh Valley, especially with the quality of award-winning services you get, and ExecuHealth is a great extension of its care.”
St. Luke’s ExecuHealth has helped numerous participants discover hidden health issues. In the first year alone, three patients had serious coronary issues, one of whom required immediate hospital care. Two had aneurysms in their thoracic aorta, the main artery extending from the top of the heart.
Examinations have also detected autoimmune diseases and other significant health issues, such as sleep apnea, that could be addressed with early intervention.
“Give us one day, and St. Luke’s ExecuHealth will create a strong foundation on which you can build a future of health and wellness,” says Weimer.
