A recent national survey of American car owners showed that many of us take better care of our cars than we do ourselves. In fact, on average, only 21 percent of us take the time to get a preventive physical exam each year.
A 50,000 Mile Check-Up for People
That's why MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital has developed a 50,000 Mile Check-Up for people. The 50,000 Mile Check-Up is the perfect solution for today's busy, active people who want to get healthy and stay healthy right now. It's a quick, convenient, head-to-toe screening designed to give participants a good sense of their health and what they can do to maintain or improve it.
A Comprehensive, Head-to-Toe Evaluation-All in One Stop
For a $50 fee, the 50,000 Mile Check-Up includes:
Medical history review
Vision exam and hearing test
Comprehensive laboratory tests
Comprehensive heart screening
Vascular screening
Bone density test

Good health starts with good information. That's why each participant receives a full report on his or her results, along with a packet of personalized health information and recommendations for follow-up care. A registered nurse will call within a week of the check-up to review the results and answer any questions. We can even share the results with your doctor.

Personalized Care with Your Health in Mind
One of the greatest advantages of the 50,000 Mile Check-Up is the personalized care it provides. Throughout the two-hour checkup, participants are escorted by a clinical staff member from our Good Health Center. "We want to make the checkups as comfortable and informative as possible," says Jackie Greene, R.N., Good Health Center manager. "Having one of our preventive health specialists serve as a 'personal navigator' helps keep the screenings running smoothly, puts guests at ease and gives them a chance to ask questions."
The 50,000 Mile Check-Up is for Maryland residents only, recommended for those between the ages of 25-75. Please know that if you are not a Maryland resident or are not within this age range, we will be happy to help direct you to other, more appropriate care providers to help you manage your health. Thank you for your consideration.
