Assante Wealth Management today announced a new program that provides clients and their families with expert health care counsel and a complete analysis of their current state of health.

Delivered in partnership with the Medcan Clinic, The Path to Wellness is a health care concierge program for Assante clients.

“Our clients have entrusted their Assante advisor with their financial affairs. Now, with The Path to Wellness, we are broadening our commitment to providing holistic solutions for our clients through a program that allows them to be proactive about their health.” says Joe Canavan, chairman and CEO of Assante Wealth Management

Canavan says Assante, as a wealth management firm, understands that with the life expectancy of Canadians continuing to rise, the connection between improved quality of life and preserving family wealth is more important than ever.

Medcan’s Comprehensive Health Assessment is focused on identifying health risks before signs and symptoms occur and uses the best available testing to screen for risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and an array of other illnesses. If the client chooses to have an annual assessment, Medcan is able to track progress over time and provide important insight to help better manage the client’s health in the long run.

In addition to the tests included as part of the Comprehensive Health Assessment, Medcan will provide specialist referral coordination following a patient’s assessment if necessary.

The Path to Wellness offers Assante clients the Comprehensive Health Assessment at a preferred rate through the Medcan Clinic and its affiliate clinics across Canada.
