The Gunn Towbin Center believes preventive medicine is the best medicine. That’s why the Wellness Overview for Women (WOW) Program was created. With a focus on prevention and early detection of disease, WOW gives you a true picture of your overall health and empowers you to live a healthier life. To supplement the WOW Program, the Gunn Towbin Center has created two additional programs to support women who are diagnosed to be at risk for heart disease, stroke or metabolic syndrome.
Wellness Overview for Women (WOW)
WOW is a comprehensive medical evaluation that:
- Provides a detailed assessment of your current health
- Utilizes ultrasound to look inside the body to detect disease before symptoms develop
- Predicts your risk for future medical problems
- Includes a personal review of your results, a detailed report and a personalized plan to help you prevent disease and maintain optimal health
WOW is available to women in our community of all ages; you don’t have to be a regular patient of the Gunn Towbin Center to participate in this unique program. For a detailed summary of the WOW program, please click here.
Healthy Heart Program
Many women are surprised to learn that heart disease is the most common cause of death among women. For this reason, the WOW program has a strong emphasis in cardiovascular health. Based on the results of your WOW evaluation, you may benefit by enrolling in the Healthy Heart Program. Customized for your specific health concerns and risk factors, this program provides ongoing management of your cardiovascular health.
The Healthy Heart Program is an ongoing management program that:
- Establishes personal health goals to reduce risk of future heart attack or stroke
- Manages cardiovascular risk factors, including cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes and metabolic syndrome
- Incorporates nutritional counseling and exercise recommendations based on your personal goals
- Includes continued monitoring of your progress through consultation, cardiac focused physical exams and follow-up testing

Wellness Maintenance
Once you have reached your personal health goals you will "graduate" to our Staying Well maintenance program. To ensure continued health, you will meet with a medical professional every six months for consultations, relevant lab work and testing.
