Austin, Texas, October 30, 2009 - HCA Gulf Coast Division and HealthYes!® Preventive Screening are partnering to educate the public on asymptomatic disease and advance the acceptance of preventive screening to make Houston a healthier place. HCA Gulf Coast Division's collaboration with HealthYes!® will leverage sophisticated, non-invasive cardiovascular health screening services and proprietary technologies to identify those with life threatening diseases. Eleven HCA Gulf Coast hospitals will provide their communities with the opportunity to identify potentially life-threatening health problems and referrals to assist them in obtaining treatment. Participating HCA Gulf Coast hospitals include:
- Bayshore Medical Center
- East Houston Regional Medical Center (a campus of Bayshore Medical Center)
- Clear Lake Regional Medical Center
- Conroe Regional Medical Center
- Corpus Christi Medical Center

"We are excited to announce our new partnership with HealthYes!®," said Maura Walsh, President, HCA Gulf Coast Division. "We believe health screenings are a valuable component of any wellness program and can uncover important illnesses that require intervention prior to the development of symptoms. We look forward to working with HealthYes!® to promote the importance of preventive healthcare."
Leveraging the most medically advanced, state-of-the-art equipment and techniques in the industry, HealthYes!® screens its clients for five cardiovascular life-threatening medical conditions and diseases: heart disease, stroke, abdominal aortic aneurysm, peripheral artery disease and osteoporosis. Clients receive a clinically relevant analysis and ultrasound images following their screening within four business days, 17-days faster than competitive services. Participants are also able to receive their results with a secure login online. The images and specific numeric data garnered from the screening process provide clients with concise and in-depth data they can share with their physician.
"Early detection is the key to preventing, treating and minimizing the impact of life-threatening illnesses in our community," said Stephen K. Jones, Jr., CEO, Clear Lake Regional Medical Center. "Good health shouldn't be taken for granted and the in-depth screenings offered by our partner HealthYes!® are a great way to ensure good health through vigilant preventative practices."
HealthYes!®®s screenings are performed by highly-trained technicians and registered sonographers and are provided at a fraction of the cost of those conducted at hospitals. The results are reviewed by Texas-based, board-certified radiologists.
"This is a tangible result of HCA Gulf Coast Division's commitment to educate the public, promote prevention and increase awareness of asymptomatic disease," said Dale Wood, president, HealthYes!® "The result of this innovative partnership will be a dedicated, industry-leading operation that will provide life-saving health screenings to customers."
HealthYes!® goes beyond advanced screening to provide its clients with in-depth, easy to understand information regarding the findings of each test. Within four business days of their screening, clients receive their ultrasound images and a clinically relevant analysis, 17-days faster than competitive services. The images and specific numeric data garnered from the screening process provide clients with concise and in-depth data they can share with their physician.
