The Centreville Medical Pavilion Now Offering First-class Testing - Executive Physicals

A leading medical facility in The Bahamas, The Centreville Medical Pavilion now offers what is known in the medical industry as a top-notch service ? executive physicals. Dr. Myles and Ruth Munroe recently underwent their executive physicals at the Pavilion. Dr. Munroe is the founder, president and senior pastor of Bahamas Faith Ministries International and a world-renowned author, spiritual teacher and motivational speaker.

"I?m not coming here because I?m sick, but it?s important to know how healthy you are," said Dr. Munroe. "I travel more than 280,000 miles per year and oversee a staff of more than 100 employees, so we want to make sure we are able to help people for the rest of our lives. Disease is never sudden, we just suddenly discover it. I encourage everyone to have an exam such as this."

A fairly recent trend in the world of medicine, executive physical examinations are much more intensive evaluations of a person?s potential for disease. They may include full body scans and numerous exams, blood testing for numerous conditions that may be life-threatening or disabling, and extensive time spent with a doctor reviewing one?s medical history, and discussing any issues that the patient might otherwise not have addressed in a standard physical. Even minor symptoms may be viewed as relevant and are met with thoughtful scrutiny.

?Not only do these examinations give patients a generous amount of time with a doctor, but through scans, testing and blood work, patients can be screened for several conditions that cause significant death (mortality) and disability (morbidity) in our community, namely heart disease, cancer and HIV disease, and our risk for the development of these and other medical problems," said Dr. Conville Brown, MD, MBBS, FACC, the founder and CEO of the Centreville Medical Pavilion. ?Our particular specialty is to perform a comprehensive executive physical examination in four to six hours, and essentially all under one roof. This is distinctly different from the usual executive physicals that are done over two to three days abroad.

The executive physical examination is incredibly comprehensive and provides patients with a great opportunity to have an illness diagnosed just as it starts, at the pre-symptom stage. Early diagnosis of a condition can mean that patients are more likely to get early treatment, which can result

in prevention of certain common cancers, curative management and even reversal of some conditions."
Dr. Brown is one of a select few in the local medical field to offer such services and stands by the potential health benefits available to patients who undergo executive physicals. Interested parties can make appointments by contacting the Centreville Medical Pavilion directly at 502-9650.
The Centreville Medical Pavilion is capable of conducting the exam virtually under one roof due to the bevy of in-house medical services including the Bahamas Heart Center, Chest Center, Breast Centre, Imaging Centre and The Cancer Centre Bahamas - the only one of its kind in the Western Hemisphere to be accredited by the American College of Radiation Oncology (ACRO) outside of the USA.
