SHIFT
SHIFT is a River North concierge practice built around a full-day executive physical followed by twelve months of medical care. Four physicians are named alongside two physical therapists, a registered dietitian and a nurse. The assessment day runs labs, a DEXA scan, VO2 max, an EKG and vision and hearing screening, and members can add cancer, genomic and biological-age testing.
