Major hospitals enter the longevity clinic business, with annual costs reaching $45,000

STAT reports that major health systems are offering longevity clinics that promise more detailed health assessments than a typical doctor’s visit. Its reporter underwent tests at a Northwestern-affiliated clinic as part of a $5,500 annual package; costs elsewhere can reach $45,000 a year. Critics question the costs at nonprofit hospitals and warn that some tests lack sufficient evidence that they improve health.
