OnSite Wellness Medical Associates, Inc. is a medically licensed provider
of health services specializing in nationwide screening programs at
corporate, retail and community sites. Based in Torrance, CA, OnSite
Wellness was established in 1997 to serve the need for convenient,
reliable and reasonably priced wellness services. These services include
immunizations and screening for heart disease, stroke, diabetes,
osteoporosis, prostate cancer and lung diseases. “We look forward to
adding the CVProfilor® System to our program and offering our
customers an opportunity for the early detection of cardiovascular
disease,” said Mr. Sang-Jin Kim, Director of Marketing for OnSite
Wellness.
“Although cardiovascular disease is more often associated with middle-aged
and elderly people, it can and does affect young people too,” said Greg H.
Guettler, President of Hypertension Diagnostics, Inc. “Most people don’t
realize it, but cardiovascular disease is the second largest cause of
death among Americans in the 25-64 year-old age group and it is the third
largest cause of death in 15-24 year-olds. Today’s health care system
focuses mainly on treatment of cardiovascular disease – symptoms of which
often do not appear until one is middle-aged or elderly. But, to lower the
risks associated with cardiovascular disease, one needs to be much more
aggressive with preventive activity and that is where OnSite Wellness
already plays an important role. For a modest fee, On-Site Wellness will
be providing vital information regarding the premature loss of arterial
elasticity using the CVProfilor® System that might help
individuals and their physicians recognize cardiovascular disease early
and initiate treatment before it progresses too far. OnSite Wellness is
recognized as a leader in disease prevention services and we look forward
to working with them in bringing this simple yet important cardiovascular
health test to consumers,” added Guettler.
Hypertension Diagnostics, Inc. designs, develops, manufactures and markets
proprietary cardiovascular profiling systems for medical applications and
clinical research. These systems are marketed to physicians, other health
care professionals and researchers by a direct sales force and via
distributors throughout the world. In addition to providing blood pressure
values, the systems non-invasively detect subtle changes in the compliance
or elasticity of both large and small arteries which is a unique feature
of HDI’s technology.
