Protecting Your Health: Because Every Officer Deserves a Long, Healthy Life
The statistics are sobering: police officers face a 22-year shorter life expectancy than civilians. We’re here to change that.
Why Police Health Screening Can’t Wait
Heart attacks strike officers 16 years earlier than civilians (age 49 vs. 65)
25% higher risk of stroke compared to the general public
Early detection can prevent these statistics from becoming your reality
Healthcare That Meets Officers Where They Are
NDS Wellness brings comprehensive physician-led screenings directly to your department. This isn’t a basic biometric screening with a finger prick and a blood pressure cuff. These are real 30-minute appointments with physicians and diagnostic testing—the kind of preventive care that can be covered by health insurance but rarely happens because officers don’t have time to schedule it.
We remove every barrier to participation
No appointments to schedule. No time off needed. No driving across town to a clinic. We bring wellness clinics right to your station, available for all shifts, so your officers can prioritize their health without disrupting their work.
What Makes Our Approach Different
Physician-Led Care
Every screening is conducted by healthcare professionals and reviewed by physicians who provide personalized recommendations for follow-up care.
Comprehensive Testing
From advanced cardiovascular screening to cancer detection, we test for the conditions that pose the greatest threat to law enforcement officers.
Built for Your Schedule
We work around your shifts and your space. Our mobile clinics set up onsite and accommodate officers across all watches.
Customized to Your Needs
Every department is different. We’ll work with you and your FOP to design a screening program that addresses your specific concerns and budget.
Our Two-Part Law Enforcement Health Program
Designed specifically for the unique health risks facing police officers, our program delivers thorough screening and prevention in two efficient parts:
Part 1
Advanced Blood Analysis
Our comprehensive blood panel goes far beyond standard lab work, screening for early signs of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and other serious conditions.
-
Lipid Panel: Screening for Cardiovascular Risk
-
Chemistry Panel: Screens for Liver Cancer, Biliary Cancer, Diabetes, Gout, Kidney Function, Anemia and Liver Disorders
-
Complete Blood Count (CBC): Screens for Lymphoma, Leukemia, Anemia and Other Blood Disorders
-
Complete Urinalysis: Screens for Bladder and Kidney Cancers
-
Additional Specialized Testing
Part 2
Complete Health Assessment
This is where early detection happens. Officers receive a full diagnostic workup that catches problems before they become life-threatening.
Comprehensive Cardiovascular & Stroke Prevention
The leading cause of death for officers isn’t what happens on the street—it’s what happens in their hearts. Our cardiac screening provides a complete picture of heart health:
12-Lead EKG
Evaluates heart rhythm, detects arrhythmias, and identifies signs of previous heart attacks or current heart strain.
Stress Test with Cardiologist Interpretation
Assesses how your heart performs under physical stress, revealing problems that don’t show up at rest. Includes VO2 max calculation to measure cardiovascular fitness.
Echocardiogram (Heart Ultrasound)
Visualizes the heart’s structure and function in real-time. This ultrasound reveals:
- Heart valve function
- Chamber size and wall thickness
- Pumping strength and efficiency
- Fluid around the heart
- Congenital heart defects
Carotid Artery Ultrasound
Examines the major arteries in your neck that supply blood to the brain. Detects dangerous plaque buildup that could lead to stroke—often before you have any symptoms.
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Screening
Checks for dangerous bulges in the body’s largest artery. AAAs often have no symptoms until they rupture, which is fatal 80% of the time. Early detection saves lives.
ABI (Ankle-Brachial Index): Peripheral Artery Screening
Compares blood pressure in your arms and legs to detect circulation problems and peripheral artery disease—a warning sign for heart attack and stroke risk.
Blood Pressure Evaluation
Comprehensive assessment with personalized management guidance for officers with elevated readings.
Complete Physical Examination
A thorough head-to-toe assessment by a physician who takes the time to actually listen:
Hands-On Physical Examination
- Vital Signs: Temperature, pulse, respiration, blood pressure
- Head, Neck, Eyes, Ears, Nose and Throat: Complete examination
- Cardiovascular: Inspection, auscultation (listening), percussion, palpation
- Pulmonary: Comprehensive lung examination
- Gastrointestinal: Abdominal examination for organ abnormalities
- Genitourinary: Hernia examination
- Lymph Nodes: Evaluation of cervical, axillary, and inguinal regions
- Neurological: Mental status evaluation and assessment of cranial/peripheral nerves (motor, sensory, reflexes)
- Musculoskeletal: Range of motion assessment for all joints, mobility and function testing
Detailed Blood Work Review
Your physician explains what every result means in plain language—no medical jargon, just clear information about your health.
Personalized Health Education
Based on your specific results, you’ll receive tailored guidance on diet, exercise, stress management, and lifestyle changes that can make a real difference.
Mental Wellness Screening
The job takes a toll that isn’t always visible. We include confidential mental health screening because your emotional wellbeing matters as much as your physical health.
Cancer Prevention & Early Detection
It’s possible, easy, and inexpensive to detect problems when they’re just beginning to form. Our comprehensive cancer screening includes:
Full-Body Skin Cancer Screening
A trained physician examines your entire body for suspicious moles, lesions, or skin changes that could indicate melanoma or other skin cancers.
Complete Abdominal Ultrasound (9-Organ Assessment)
This painless ultrasound examination provides a thorough evaluation of your internal organs:
- Liver: Screens for liver cancer, cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, cysts, and masses
- Kidneys: Detects kidney cancer, stones, cysts, and structural abnormalities
- Pancreas: Identifies pancreatic cancer, cysts, and inflammation
- Gallbladder: Finds gallstones, polyps, and signs of disease
- Spleen: Checks for enlargement and abnormalities
- Bladder: Screens for tumors and structural issues
- Abdominal Aorta: Monitors for aneurysms
- Gender-Specific Screening: Pelvic ultrasound for women, testicular ultrasound for men
Thyroid Ultrasound
Examines the thyroid gland for nodules, cysts, or enlargement that could indicate thyroid disease or cancer.
Additional Oncology Screening
- Fecal occult blood testing (colon cancer screening)
- Prostate exam and PSA analysis (males)
- Clinical breast examination (females)
- Additional screenings based on individual risk factors or patient request
Every Officer Receives
Detailed written reports from both Radiologist and Cardiologist
Consultation with Nurse Practitioner for any positive findings
Physician-directed recommendations for medical follow-up
Follow-up care coordination for abnormal findings
All testing completed onsite at your department
Scheduling that works for all shifts
Early Detection Saves Lives
One firefighter from Local 734 in Baltimore discovered a 5cm kidney mass during a screening. He was told it was likely cancer that had spread to his lungs and he probably had 10 years to live. After surgery to remove the tumor and save his kidney, follow-up scans showed no change in the lung nodules. He got the “all clear” from his oncologist.
“If you love your spouses, your children and yourself, GET THE SCAN. You are the best advocate for your own health. I was lucky—this scan saved my life!”
Your officers protect the community every day. This program protects them.
