Nonprofit hospitals launch pricey longevity clinics offering personalized health assessments

Longevity clinics, which promise individualized health advice and advanced testing, are now being opened by major nonprofit hospitals. The services aim to map the health trajectories of patients across multiple organ systems and fitness metrics.

The clinics charge steep fees, with some packages reaching up to $45,000 a year, prompting questions about affordability and the value of such extensive assessments. Critics note that the business model may be outpacing solid scientific evidence.

Reporter Sarah Todd visited two such clinics, undergoing a VO2 Max test and other evaluations, as part of a series that examines the science behind longevity services and the risk of profit‑driven hype.
