One year since opening its doors in the Philippines, Fullerton Health’s Executive Health Screening and Advanced Diagnostic Imaging center is quietly—and quickly—redefining the way executive check-ups are done. And no, it’s not the same Fullerton as the luxury hotel in Singapore.
Unlike hospital-based executive check-ups that can take an entire day—or even an overnight stay—Fullerton Health’s center is designed for speed, privacy, and comfort. “We wanted to change the journey,” said De Leon. “Here, you sit in your own private pod for two to three hours. That’s your space. And then you’re off—back to the office, back to your day.”
Despite the quicker turnaround, the packages are comprehensive. Every check-up includes a CT scan of the heart and lungs—tests that aren’t typically included in standard packages. “That’s the point,” De Leon said. “We want to detect heart issues early. We’ve had cases where patients looked completely healthy, but our CT scans revealed serious blockages.”
Fullerton offers five screening packages—Silver, Gold, Platinum, Sapphire, and Diamond—which can be customized depending on age or doctor recommendations. All packages include a range of tests like digital mammograms, ultrasound, treadmill, ECG, x-ray, food intolerance panels, and cancer screenings. “It’s a simplified approach,” Carmie explained. “Health should be closer to the Filipino. It should be easy.”
Their efforts haven’t gone unnoticed. Fullerton Health was recently recognized with a Service Innovation award by Healthcare Asia—a nod to the clinic’s modern take on preventive care. “That was a milestone for us. A validation that we’re on the right track,” De Leon said.
She admitted that changing the Filipino mindset has been one of the biggest challenges. “People are used to going to hospitals for everything—even if it means longer wait times or higher risk of infection. We’re showing them that there’s a better way.”
“People have told us that their visit here are life-changing. Some even say this feels like the Rolls Royce of executive check-ups,” De Leon said.
Looking ahead, Fullerton is eyeing expansion and even medical tourism. “We’ve already seen patients fly in from Europe and Singapore. We want to tie up with hotels and resorts so people can unwind right after their check-up.”
To mark its first year, Fullerton Health is celebrating the best way they know how: making quality preventive care easier to access for more people.
