As a busy, committed business executive accustomed to successfully keeping several balls in the air simultaneously, it is easy to believe that all is in balance. At least until I came across Dr. Childs' unique and comprehensive program as part of an executive physical, that is what I thought. The awareness of the career and personal balance factors raised at the time during his multi-dimensional analysis and in my annual reviews since have become powerful tools for me to maintain good physical and emotional health for the past twenty years, and have helped me be a more effective and creative employer and businessman. Robert M. Glorioso, PhD President & CEO Marathon Technologies Corp

My annual review sessions with Dr. Childs have been very instrumental in my continuing lifestyle balance awareness and excellent health. Thomas R. Shepherd Partner Thomas H. Lee Co.

For over two decades Dr. Henry Childs has been ahead of his time by incorporating physical exercise and a health and nutritional assessment as part of his comprehensive preventive care. He is truly a pioneer in preventive medicine. Robert C. Cantu, MD, FACS, FACSM Past President American College of Sports Medicine

I have been a client of Dr. Childs and HIA for twenty-five years. In that time, I have received extraordinary medical and personal care from wonderful people who are truly interested in my overall well-being. Dr. Childs' lifestyle-focused approach to health maintenance is both unique and highly effective. Bob Levasseur Managing Partner FOX Consulting Group Inc.

Dr. Childs seeks to prevent illness as well as to relieve it. He aims to enhance health, which goes beyond palliating symptoms until the next time unhealthy habits (smoking, excessive alcohol, obesity, poor fitness, dietary inanity, frenetic over-commitment) compels another office visit. Today's health care systems must use this quarter's bottom line to guide medical practice. Dr. Childs' long-term vision has become a noble exception in an increasingly ignoble health care environment. Quentin Regestein, MD Director, Psychiatry Sleep Clinic Brigham & Woman's Hospital, Boston MA Assoc. Prof of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School

Dr. Childs brings the physician/patient relationship to a new level. He takes the time to understand his patient's life circumstances and how work, play, family, friends, recreation, exercise, nutrition, and spirituality all contribute to wellness. This whole-person approach is exceptional and it produces exceptional results - it really changed my life! Gary Rancourt Vice President, Marketing & Sales Softwatch, Inc. Ironman finisher & bicycling coach for the Leukemia Society Team-in-Training

This is the most unique, comprehensive and joyful personal care I've ever experienced. Your commitment to total well-being is unparalleled in the health care industry today, and you have had a significant impact on my life. You have become great friends, and I cannot conceive of seeking care anywhere else! Judith Kelly VP Customer Services GeoTel Communications

I have been a participant in HIA's programs for many years. I came to Dr. Childs somewhat skeptical about preventive medicine in general and the concept of treating one's health as an investment, as the product of some of my previous experiences with the medical community. Dr. Childs overcame my skepticism and I am a firm believer in his approach, which artistically addresses one's physical, emotional and intellectual lifestyle and works with the individual in great depth to address and improve each of these areas and many more. The bottom line is - working with Dr. Childs and investing in one's health is causally related to improving and maintaining much better quality of life. Barry S. Harsip, JD Partner Graham & Harsip, PC

I have never been overly impressed by fancy titles, large buildings and wall-to-wall carpeting even in the most prestigious medical establishments, when humanistic medicine is not practiced, and unfortunately this is all too common these days. I have had a happy and continuing involvement with Dr. Hank Childs and Health Investment Associates for many years, because he has developed a unique blend of primary care medicine and in depth preventive and lifestyle medicine which I do not believe exists anywhere else in our region. In this extremely thorough, careful and caring setting, I have felt, known, understood, supported and trained to an unusual degree, and moreover as a real person, not just as a patient. I highly recommend this practice and approach to quality-seekers of any age or sex! James H. Rogers, Jr. Chairman of the Board and CEO Rogers Foam Corp.
