William’s Story
"She could have died without ArmadaCare Executive Health."
Medical issues can cloud business success. William is the Chief Operating Officer of a major East Coast industrial firm, but his business was sidelined by the surprise diagnosis of his wife’s progressive bone cancer. “One day she was fine,” he recalls, “the next, a devastating diagnosis.” Finding a specialist to halt the spread of the cancer proved difficult, and began to consume more and more of William’s business day. “What could I do?” William asked.
- William called his ArmadaCare Executive Health Clinical Advocate. We identified a world-renowned specialist, who helped them identify an new viable treatment option. Today, William’s wife is in remission. “She is out in the garden and enjoying each addtional day given to us ,” William says. “She could have died without help. We don't know what the future will bring, but we do know ArmadaCare will be there for us ready to help.”
Michael’s Story
“Doctors couldn’t help.” Business suffers when executives experience medical issues. Michael had been distracted and frustrated by an ongoing problem. He knew something was wrong, but doctors had been telling him different things for years. “I knew I had problems,” Michael relates. “I was having headaches and blurred vision. Doctors couldn’t help. My responsibilities were suffering.” His employers stuck by him, even as countless hours of doctor visits cost thousands in out-of pocket expenses and lost productivity. “Then,” he says, “they recommended I use my new ArmadaCare Executive Health benefit.”
- Michael called ArmadaCare. ArmadaCare recommended a specialist who was able to finally make the correct diagnosis, and begin the proper treatment for the condition. “I was back at work within two weeks,” Michael says. “Sometimes all it takes is identifying the right specialist who can correctly diagnose the problem. AramadaCare’s Clinical Advocates helped me identify what specialist I needed to see and then were able to quickly get me in to see one of the leaders in this field. It made a world of difference in finally addressing my problem.”
Sharon’s Story
“They brought him home to our own hospital.”
Travel adds stress in emergency situations. Traveling overseas on a combined family vacation and business trip to seal a major client contract, Sharon’s son became very ill. “We took him to a local clinic,” Sharon says, “But the facilities were very primitive.” He needed hospitalization and specialized care. “Things looked grim, but ArmadaCare was there for us.”
- Sharon called her ArmadaCare 24/7 emergency support team. ArmadaCare cut through the red tape of foreign agencies and arranged air ambulance service back to the U.S where Sharon’s son could receive the right kind of care. The ArmadaCare Executive Health Advocate helped coordinate all the steps and arranged follow up appointments with specialists at the home hospital. “Without this instant assistance and access to proper medical care,” Sharon says, “he may have had long term complications from his illness. ”
David’s Story
“Relocation pains.”
Sometimes, great opportunities come at an unexpected cost. When David was offered a promotion he was overjoyed, despite the need to move to a distant state. But his daughter’s degenerative heart condition dictated a certain measure of caution. Would they be able to find the specialists and medical facilities needed to continue her successful treatment? “We wanted to move,” David says. “It was a great opportunity for the whole family, not just for me and the business. But we needed to make certain that our daughter had access to the care she needs.”
- David called ArmadaCare. Through the ArmadaCare Executive Health physician community, David was able to locate a top-ranked pediatric heart specialist within driving distance of his new home. “The ArmadaCare Clinical Team helped secure an appointment,” David says, “and they followed up to make sure our needs were met. This service greatly reduced the stress of moving to a new town and allowed us to instead enjoy this new chapter in our lives."
