“During my check-up the biokineticist did an electrocardiogram and noticed my heart rate was very erratic. He called for a second opinion — one of the advantages of ExecCare, having all these medical experts under one roof. The doctor agreed the ECG was concerning and arranged for me to see a cardiologist that day. What the team picked up was the Coxsackie virus, which in my case caused myocarditis. I was incredibly fortunate it was detected so early — often it is only found once patients have already gone into heart failure.”— Bank executive

Why ExecCare
You already know what your leadership team costs you. Now see the risk inside it.
We show you the health risk sitting inside that investment, as one population picture your board can act on, tracked year on year.
What we are seeing
Healthy business leaders. Your biggest asset, or your biggest assumption?
The top six health risks recorded among corporate executives between 2021 and 2024. These are not industry projections. They are measured findings from our own assessment data.
65%
at high risk of burnout, carrying high levels of cynicism
59%
have low physical activity levels
41%
at high risk of metabolic disease: hypertension, type 2 diabetes
40%
carry high-risk body fat
33%
experiencing poor sleep quality, leading to fatigue and burnout
29%
have a high-risk BMI
There is hope
Executives who return year on year show measurable improvement across metabolic and mental health markers, including cholesterol and triglyceride:HDL ratio, fasting insulin and HbA1c, and body fat percentage. Personalised assessment plus targeted intervention moves the numbers.
The difference
Not a limited annual check-up.
ExecCare is a contemporary executive health solution using international best-practice medicine as part of an executive optimisation strategy. Rather than a once-a-year tick-box, it combines medical and behavioural investigation, risk management and personal optimisation, all in a single day and under one roof.
01
Multidisciplinary
A number of medical and allied professionals in one place, so an executive is assessed comprehensively without losing a week of diary time. The sessions talk to each other, and the doctor closes the loop.
02
Purpose-built facility
Custom-built rooms used for executive medicals only, not shared services inside a public gym. An efficient workflow and a high-quality experience, with state-of-the-art diagnostic and exercise equipment.
03
A protocol that moves
The pathology panel is reviewed and updated rather than left as it was a decade ago. HbA1c and fasting insulin were added in 2023 for a fuller view of metabolic health and diabetes risk, with a longevity booster tier layered on top for executives who want to go further.
04
A year, not a day
The medical is the start. Unlimited virtual consults, a six-monthly face-to-face check-up and a mental resilience journey run for the twelve months that follow, managed by the same clinical team.
Take the tour
Executive wellness in action.
A walk-through of the ExecCare facility: the rooms, the equipment and the people your executives will actually meet.
Truly a world-class experience
“The facility is world class and of the level one would strive for in the context of executives as well as entrepreneurs. Clinically, the process is far superior to any I have experienced — not only are all providers in one location, but the different sessions lead into and talk to each other, and everything was wrapped up by the doctor. I found the experience to be life changing.”
— Sam Hutchison, entrepreneur & business owner
The assessment
What actually happens on the day.
ExecCare begins with a thorough appraisal of each executive’s holistic health risk: family and personal medical history, physical activity profile, psycho-emotional wellbeing, health and lifestyle status, nutrition profile and an illness rating scale. Everything that follows is built on that foundation.
- 01
Medical assessment
Medical doctorA comprehensive assessment with a review of the haematology and biochemistry profile to determine health risk. Focus areas include cancer risk, heart disease risk, metabolic syndrome, cognitive and mental health status, and sleep patterns. Vision and audio screening available where indicated.
- 02
Pathology
PathologistLipogram, glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, kidney and liver function, stool examination for occult blood for executives over 40, full blood count, ESR, ultrasensitive CRP, urine, uric acid, TSH/PSA and Pap smear. Bone density and mammography on request.
- 03
Fitness and ergonomics
BiokineticistBody composition, fitness testing, posture, flexibility, musculoskeletal review, lung function testing and ECG, including stress ECG, spirometry and graded fitness testing covering strength and VO₂ max.
- 04
Diet and nutrition
Registered dietitianA nutritional intervention developed from a comprehensive analysis of eating habits, preferences, intolerances and business travel demands. Eating for sustained energy is a speciality.
- 05
Personal mastery
Work management consultantEvaluation supporting high competence in behavioural risk areas including burnout, work-life balance and family responsibilities.
- 06
Longevity assessment
Exercise physiologistA functional capacity assessment built around the physical qualities that decide how well an executive lives in their later decades: muscular strength, grip strength, stability and balance, mobility, and aerobic capacity. The assessor works through each with the executive and leaves them with practical steps to build and hold those capacities, rather than a generic gym plan.
- 07
Therapeutic massage
SomatologistA 30 to 60 minute session addressing posture or flexibility impairment, specific muscle group spasm, and the need for stress alleviation or mental relaxation.
Executive programmes
Two programmes. One standard.
Both are built on the same clinical backbone and the same facility. Where specific outcomes are a priority, either programme can be altered to suit your organisation’s wellbeing strategy.

Both programmes run in the same dedicated facility, on the same pathology protocol and the same reporting. Where specific outcomes are a priority, either can be altered to suit your organisation’s wellbeing strategy.
After the medical: add-on
The Executive Management programme.
A medical that ends when the executive walks out of the door changes very little. For organisations that want their high-risk executives actively managed between medicals, the Executive Management programme runs the full cycle below, delivered by the same clinical team and quoted separately from the medical itself.
- 01
The medical
A full assessment with pathology drawn onsite. The doctor reviews live results with the executive before they leave.
- 02
Findings & referral
Where something needs a specialist, the investigation and referral are arranged, and included rather than charged as an add-on.
- 03
Active management
The clinical team stays with the executive through the year: virtual consults, coaching, and a mental resilience journey where it is needed.
- 04
Six-month check-up
A face-to-face review with the medical doctor at the halfway point, against the findings from the medical.
- 05
Next annual medical
Measured against the previous year rather than started from scratch, so change is visible.
And round again the following year. Executives who return year on year show measurable improvement across their metabolic and mental health markers, including cholesterol and triglyceride:HDL ratio, fasting insulin and HbA1c, and body fat percentage. See how it sits alongside the two programmes.

The facility
Dedicated rooms, not shared services.
Boundary Place, Illovo. Purpose-built for executive medicals only: reception, consulting rooms, diagnostics, treatment, nutrition and a private lounge, all under one roof so a full assessment fits inside a single morning.
National footprint
Three dedicated centres. One national network.
Most executive medicals are run out of a room borrowed from something else. ExecCare has purpose-built centres in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town, backed by the HealthImpact network across all nine provinces and a referral network of specialists for anything the medical uncovers.

CardiologyWhere a stress ECG or resting trace raises a question, the executive sees a cardiologist, sometimes the same day.
EndocrinologyFor the metabolic findings the pathology panel is built to surface: insulin resistance, thyroid, diabetes risk.
Oncology & screeningOnward referral for anything the cancer-risk screening flags, including imaging beyond our own protocol.
Mental healthPsychiatry and psychology for executives carrying a significant mental health burden.
Pathology
Three protocols, layered.
Our pathology protocol is a fundamental element of ExecCare. We research continuously and update it periodically, so the panel reflects current medicine rather than what was standard a decade ago.
01 Standard
Lipogram, glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, kidney and liver function, stool examination for occult blood over 40, full blood count, ESR, ultrasensitive CRP, urine, uric acid, TSH/PSA and Pap smear.
02 Enhanced
In 2023 we added HbA1c and fasting insulin testing, significantly enriching the protocol, giving a more holistic view of metabolic health, diabetes risk and overall wellness.
03 Longevity booster
Advanced tests layered on top of the enhanced protocol, giving a wider range of insight so executives can fine-tune health, optimise wellbeing and work towards a longer, healthier life.
Same day
Blood is drawn onsite on the day of the medical, with results back within roughly three hours, not drawn two days beforehand at a separate location. The doctor reviews live results with the executive before they leave.
Stats & reporting
What you get back.
Reporting runs at two levels: what the individual executive receives, and what you receive as an organisation about the collective health of your leadership.
01
Individual stat report
Within two to three hours of completing the medical, the executive receives a stat report summarising their key health markers and results.
02
Comprehensive medical report
A 50+ page individual report one to two days later, combining assessment, behaviour change, diagnostics and wellness content personalised around that executive’s risk profile.
03
Monthly, quarterly & annual
Aggregated data identifying health trends, risk factors and areas needing attention, enabling early intervention rather than after-the-fact reaction.
04
Group risk report
A de-personalised view of the risk carried by your executive population as a whole. Built for management forums and strategic planning, with confidentiality protected throughout.
05
Executive-level feedback
Presentations at intervals through the year highlighting red flags and areas for improvement, with strategic interventions to shift the health trajectory of your leadership.
06
Tailored to your systems
Reporting format, metrics, visual representation and data segmentation can be aligned to your own reporting requirements.

What executives say
In their own words.
“This programme is an essential experience for senior executives who understand that effective leadership begins with personal well-being. The assessment provided far more than a snapshot of my health — it offered meaningful insights, identified key areas for focus, and equipped me with practical, actionable recommendations. Personal health is not a luxury — it is a leadership imperative.”
Barney Khumalo, Rainbow Chicken executive“The team is very professional and friendly. Nqobile and Sophie always made sure that I was comfortable and that I knew what was next in my day. The biokineticist session was very good and informative, the doctor and dieticians had great recommendations too. The medical absolutely met my expectations — it’s always an amazing experience. Your team is top class!”
Sifiso Gumede, Nedbank executive“Coming to ExecCare for my executive medical was a valuable investment of my time into my longevity. Like every session, the longevity assessment was personalised, and the assessor gave me practical steps to better my strength for my age and years to come. The doctor offered me extra tests necessary for my age and answered all my questions beyond my expectations.”
Thinus Bothma, Stanlib executive
