    Following the blood draw, the examinee will be offered a continental breakfast of coffee and or juice, whole grain bagel with cream cheese and or fruit. On the return appointment the executive will visit with the physician. The physician will do a "hands on" examination of the patient, review of patient's history and Health Risk Assessment and discuss the findings from the screening done on previous visit.

    On a one visit physical, the executive would also arrive early after fasting. All screening test procedures will be done at that time, after which they will be offered a continental breakfast.

    The executive would be called by the physician in approximately a week to go over the screening findings.
