AWAY FROM HOME MEMBERS/DESTINATION MEDICAL PLANNING:

• "We have a child with a serious medical condition and my husband has a high level job in the financial services industry. Over the years, WorldClinic has been invaluable to us."
  "When my husband was contemplating an office transfer to Tokyo, they helped us find and arrange the physician specialists we needed so we could accept the job."

• "Every November, we move down to our winter home in Boca Raton. Unfortunately two years ago, I had just had surgery in New York to repair a torn ligament in my knee. My WorldClinic doctor made arrangements for my physical therapy to continue in Boca Raton. He also checked on me frequently by phone to make sure that I was OK. It was a relief to know that the details were being taken care of..."

CORPORATE CARE:

• "Our firm works in international law and we recently began work in Kiev. We brought WorldClinic in to evaluate Kiev for medical resources and to make a plan to cover medical emergencies. They also took on our staff as individual patients, collected their medical records, and provided them with traveling medical kits. I can tell you, from personal feedback, that our expatriate staff is quite happy with the WorldClinic people. My department receives an annual report from WorldClinic on our medical issues in Kiev (names withheld) which we are referencing in our firm's plan for expansion in the Ukraine."
  Name and Firm Withheld at Members Request
• We have been using WorldClinic since 2000. They've done a great job in making sure our people always have someone to talk to when they get sick. We've had problems pop up in London, Bombay, Malaysia and Moscow. We've also had a few people come home with a bug they picked up overseas. In every case, the outcome has pretty much been the same: They called the doctors at WorldClinic, who then took over and helped them to get better. We are not privy to all the details because of privacy laws, but I do know that our people seem to appreciate this personal benefit a lot more than the others we have in place.

UNIQUE SOLUTIONS, UNIQUE NEEDS:

• "Six years ago, we were looking for medical support for our family yacht. We had heard about WorldClinic from a safety-at-sea article I ran across in Ocean Navigator. They came in and set us up with a communication plan, a very complete medical locker and then collected a medical record on all of our family members and regular crew.
  Since then, we've had lots of sick crew-members, a few injured people, and one small stroke. We had one very memorable allergic skin reaction that the WorldClinic doctors diagnosed by collecting digital photographs and forwarding them to their dermatologist colleagues in Boston. It might not sound like a big deal, but we were en route from Hawaii to Los angles at the time. With their guidance, we successfully treated the reaction with two of the medicines in the locker. It's nice to know that they are always there."

• "In 2004, my husband and I bought a house in a new community in Costa Rica. Last year, we spent the winter there and we plan on retiring there permanently next year. In the beginning we used WorldClinic for simple problems like food poisoning. The big plus has been their help in finding us a good group of doctors to use in San Jose. We live about two hours from the capital, so I expect we'll still have plenty of chances to use WorldClinic in the future, and now we know where they will send us (and our medical records) for the big emergencies."
