HealthCheck

HealthCheck Interplanetary Corporation commonly known as HealthCheck is an interplanetary medical company based in Vaerium, Orblex. It provides numerous medical services such as: Pharmaceuticals, Ambulatory Services, Emergency Medical Aid, Medical Equipment and Military Medicine. The company is well known for being the primary medical company to the worlds of Orblex and Birenium II as well as providing medical services to various other worlds in the inner and outer colonies. It's control on the worlds of Orblex and Birenium II has put the company under scrutiny from the UEG and the CAA, who fear a possibility of a monopoly forming on their worlds. However, the company has been protected largely due to the medical services it provides to the UNSC, the CMA, CAA and even ONI working in the outer colonies. It's considered one of the biggest players in medical care for the outer and inner colonies.
The company is staffed by over 1,466,000 personnel in it's various branches. It's largest branch is the Orblex Branch which is staffed by 497,000 members, closely followed by the branch on Birenium II. The Company services over 90 different worlds in the outer and inner colonies and even provides medical equipment for medical corporations working in the Sol System. 
The company is most famous for it's Trauma Response Teams. The high crime rates on highly urbanised outer colony worlds such as Orblex and Birenium II meant that paramedic teams responding to distress calls had to be escorted by heavily armed police units in order to ensure their safety. In 2438, HealthCheck managed to secure an Armed Employees License from the CAA Department of Business and began operating heavily armed paramedic units based on the Pelican and the AV-13 Tarrow. These units became well known for providing quick and armed ambulatory responses, though at a high price. The Trauma Response Teams on Orblex and Birenium II are also supported by Condors fitted with Surgical Suites as well as various refuelling and repair stations. 
HealthCheck became well known as a very reputable company despite operating in the corporation controlled worlds such as Orblex and Birenium II, they became well liked by the people for their rapid responses and expert medical care. It is noted that few people die once they are in the hands of trauma specialists from HealthCheck's Trauma Response Teams. Despite their attention to care, HealthCheck has very significant profit margins and are well known as one of the most profitable companies in the outer colonies. Their staff are also known to be very well paid.
==History==
===Founding===
HealthCheck Orblex Incorporated was founded by Zhang Rolla in 2436 on Orblex, Zhang was one of the first colonists to the world and arrived when Vaerium was just a small town. He had worked as a doctor in Unified Korea and had come over to establish a medical venture in the new colony. The company began as a small clinic on the world, Zhang and his wife provided services to the local people for a small fee. As Vaerium and Orblex grew in size, so did the clinic. Soon it became a small hospital as Zhang paid a small fortune in order to bring in doctors and nurses from other colonies in order to build up one of the most comprehensive medical systems in the outer colonies in such a small time. Over the next 60 years, Orblex rapidly expanded in it's scope. Vaerium became a village, town and soon it became a large city housing over half a million people. By the 2480s, it became one of the most well known outer colonies and especially for the medical items and care provided by HealthCheck. 
By 2487, HealthCheck operated 5 major hospitals on Orblex and a number of smaller clinics, pharmaceutical stores and other medical facilities across Orblex's multiple settlements. Their reach on Orblex meant that they were pushing Optican out of the market on Orblex and establishing themselves as a proper force in the outer colonies for medical care. Soon, however, the Rolla family entered into extreme debt due to Su Yi Rolla's voracious gambling habits which soon meant that they had to sell the company off in order to repay their debts. As such, HealthCheck Orblex Incorporated was bought out by Oscar Krazny who paid cR 27.6 billion for 60% of the shares in HealthCheck. The change in ownership also marked a change in focus for the company. A great emphasis was put on the commercial and profitable parts of the business. 
HealthCheck Orblex Incoporated rebranded itself as the HealthCheck Interplanetary Corporation and began expanding it's enterprises from Orblex to other colonies. Birenium II was the next location to come to HealthCheck's attention with a hospital being set up under a contract from the planetary government. The hospital became well known for it's medical facilities, a much greater improvement over that of previous hospitals. The lack of medical care in locations such as Birenium II meant that soon, HealthCheck was able to leverage the lack of healthcare in various outer colonies to obtain lucrative contracts from planetary governments and the Colonial Administration Authority in order to rapidly increase in size and scope. Within 20 years of the first hospital opening on Birenium II in 2488, it seemed that HealthCheck was everywhere. There were HealthCheck Hospitals on over 80 planets within these 20 years, staggering growth primarily caused by the massive lack of intensive healthcare throughout the outer colonies. 
When HealthCheck was bought out by the Krazny family, they also began investing in various other consumer goods in order to shift away from the previous focus on emergency medicine and day to day healthcare. HealthCheck began investing in the women's beauty market and launched their Vini Beautallia line which included various products such as mascara and face lifters. These products were marketed primarily to the highest of society, CEO's wives and daughters as well as other women of... Distinguished worth. They became a hit and soon, HealthCheck was rolling in the money needed in order to form a subsidary to manage the production and selling of their consumer goods. These became HealthCheck Industry and ShopCheck. In 2494, ShopCheck opened a factory on Orblex for production of their ECG and Surgical monitors. 
===The Insurrection===
The Insurrection brought new challenges to HealthCheck, Orblex had become a crime rife world where the most common occupation was that of a criminal. Soon, Insurrectionist organisations had started to arise on the world. One of the main targets for insurrectionist attacks were HealthCheck Paramedics and ambulance services as well as hospitals and other medical facilities, these were mostly conducted due to HealthCheck's relationship with the UEG and the UNSC which had helped them obtain contracts to supply medical equipment to various planets in the Sol System and open their facilities in the inner colonies. HealthCheck was soon unable to properly conduct medical services to the various wounded due to these attacks without police support, something that was becoming increasingly difficult due to the increasing leveks of crime in the rapdily developing outer colonies.
In response to these crises, plans to expand into the inner colonies and increase their services to over 130 planets were scrapped with the money being funneled into purchasing thousands of AV-13 Tarrows and D77-MC Pelican and equipping them with medical livery. HealthCheck managed to obtain an Armed Employees and began hiring ex-military paramedics as well as training already hired civilian paramedics in small unit tactics with help from the CMA. This was the start of the Trauma Response Teams, by 2515 they were being deployed on the worlds most affected by crime and the insurrection in order to provide rapid emergency medical aid to wounded personnel. This marked a change in the focus of the company from the commercial market to monopolising their unique ambulance service. HealthCheck began implementing their 3 tier insurance plan, doubling their profits in less than a decade as the waves of crime and insurrectionists made such medical aid invaluable.
This new business model was massively successful for the company, from 2503 when the Trauma Response Team was initially formed to 2512 the profits rose from cR 102.66 billion to around cR 190 billion thanks to this new model and the introduction of the Trauma Response Teams. These teams became massively popular for their fast responses and dedication to saving their patients, some joke that the Trauma Response Teams are so well armed that they tend to kill more people than they actually save. This allowed HealthCheck is gain a massive amount of good PR and there was even an action show based on the Trauma Response Teams, filmed on Miridem and starring George Charles and Emilia Espinoza. The Trauma Response Teams became the poster children of the HealthCheck Interplanetary Corporation, their operations became expanded into the 2520s with HealthCheck purchasing 197 surplus D80 Condors which became refitted to become mobile surgical suites for the new Mobile Surgical Teams that were deployed to meet the growing lack of suitable Class B and A Trauma Facilities on Orblex and Birenium II.
==Business Sectors==
HealthCheck primarily operates 5 major medical sectors: Pharmaceuticals, Medical Technology, Consumer Health Goods, Military Medicine and Ambulatory Services. These contributed: 11%, 18%, 26%, 11% and 34% of the total revenues for the company respectively.
===HealthCheck Business Sectors===
===Pharmaceuticals===
HealthCheck provides pharmaceutical services in multiple fields, primarily in: Immunology, Cardiology, Neuroscience, Infectious Diseases, Cardiovascular and Dermatology. HealthCheck was worked to monopolise the market in these fields on Orblex and Birenium II, their control is so tight that notably not even Optican could find a market on Orblex, Huyt or Birenium II for their products.
===Medical Technology===
HealthCheck is well known for it's advanced medical technological equipment such as MRI equipment and Ultrasound equipment. They're also well known for their Interventional Radiology equipment as well as surgical equipment such as various monitors and probes. They also provide various equipment for paramedical teams such as biofoam, medigel, tourniquets, AEDs and cryopods.
HealthCheck also provides flash cloning for high paying customers, notably they provide the facilities primarily for organ production. Full scale clones are only produced for ONI, who paid high fees for the production of 24 full humans during the Spartan-II Program. These services were never restarted as of 2524 due to their fairly illegal nature. 
===Consumer Health Goods===
HealthCheck is a major player in the consumer health market, they produce advanced cybernetics for the consumer market. Most well known as their cybernetic eyes which are high valued and sold around the entire galaxy. Their Vindicta Eyepiece is well known amongst Private Military Companies as the most advanced of it's kind, able to provide zoom capabilities and inputted with IFF Tags like targeting glasses can.
HealthCheck beauty products are amongst the famous in the galaxy as well, HealthCheck specialises most in eyeliners and mascara products. Their Vini Beautallia line is well loved among high class women for their ability to make certain features standout. They also provide oral and child care as well as various products for care during pregnancy.
===Military Medicine===
HealthCheck provides military medical services in support of the UNSC, local planetary defence units and the CMA. They can act as disaster response units, able to set up temporary triage centres near disaster locations and provide medical care in order to supplement militaries with expert first response medical care. HealthCheck also provides TCCC (Tactical Combat Casualty Care) training for military forces with the usage of advanced equipment such as plasma.
HealthCheck Trauma Surgeons are also able to be deployed in conflict areas, although not in combat medical roles. Typically, surgeons are deployed to military field hospitals to support existing military medical personnel. Their expertise in injuries sustained in conflict zones thanks to the high crime rate on outer colony worlds means they tend to be invaluable assets. In some instances, D77-MC Pelicans with Trauma Response Teams can be deployed to provide MEDEVAC capabilities for military forces.
===Ambulatory Services===
HealthCheck's ambulatory services are the most famous and profitable part of the company. The company operates AV-13 Tarrows, a surplus CMA vehicle that was primarily used for logistical transportation. Onboard the Tarrows are various ambulatory equipment such as a cryopod, IVs, gurneys and other such as well as heavy weaponry such as machine guns. Trauma Response Teams are known as the most well armed and protected medical teams in the entire galaxy due to the rife of crime on the planets they work on. 
The Trauma Response Teams are also the most expensive for the company, Trauma Response Teams are regularly attacked by criminals and insurrectionists and there are instances where Trauma Teams have been wiped out by enemy forces. As such, prices for ambulatory services are typically quite high and can result in debts for many of the poorest people. Usually, HealthCheck forces those in debt with them to undertake internships and various contract jobs such as administrators which is usually the main source of recruitment for logistical staff. 
== Finances==
HealthCheck's revenue as of 2524 was reported by them as cR 545,720 million and rising. The annual profits of the company was reported as cR 225,370 million. This was a total increase of 1% over the last fiscal year in profits and in income. The incomes of HealthCheck have been increasing since 2516 since the Insurrection on Batavian III, greater numbers of employees had been hired either through a form of debt collection or employment.
HealthCheck is mostly owned by the Krazny family who own 78% of the shares in the company. A further 10% of the shares are owned by Harris-Romner Bank who got the shares during the start up of the company, 5% is also owned by Acheron Security and finally 7% is owned by Dudyn Sky GmbH. The Oscar-Pollo Service, a bond crediting service who works mostly for the CAA, has given the company a A+++ rating as the company has assets valued at cR 319.75 billion compared to their very low debts of around cR 10.78 billion.
HealthCheck is amongst the most profitable companies in the galaxy, they have made a profit every year for the last 40 years and have been well known for making over 50% profit margins thanks to the massive demand for their services on crime ridden world such as Orblex over the last century. Their women's beauty products and medical equipment are also well known across the UEG for their quality and the former are popular among actresses. 
==Subsidaries==
HealthCheck owns many subsidiaries other than the primary HealthCheck Company that operates on Orblex. HealthCheck operates subsidiaries on a number of important inner colonies such as Reach, Circumstance and Miridem as well as Cascade. These subsidiaries in the Inner Colonies typically operate a number of hospitals and health centres. These subsidiaries allow profits to funnel up to the parent company on Vaerium, the HealthCheck subsidiaries are typically owned by members of the Krazny. The largest subsidiary is HealthCheck Reach which operates more hospitals and health centres than the rest of the subsidiaries in the Epsilon Eridani System combined. 
HealthCheck also owns 2 other subsidaries, HealthCheck Industries and ShopCheck. HealthCheck Industries is the manufacturing arm of HealthCheck. They control and own 67 factories on various inner colony worlds such as Reach and Circumstance, these factories work to produce and sell various medical tools, cybernetics, chemicals and others. HealthCheck Industries has also been tasked with producing medical equipment for the UNSC, CMA and local planetary defence units such as tourniquets, bandages and biofoam. HealthCheck Industries is run by Christian Krazny's second daughter, Valentine Krazny.
ShopCheck is the commercial shopping retailer for HealthCheck, they operate tens of thousands of pharmaceutical stores across the galaxy which market HealthCheck's various home consumer items such as over the counter medicine, women's beauty products, child care products and various other items. ShopCheck also manages a massive store on Reach, the largest sole pharmaceuticals store in the inner colonies. ShopCheck also manages a few shopping centres for general retail, a new project to try and expand the profits gained through the commercial side of the business. ShopCheck is run primarily by Christian Krazny's third son, Robert Krazny.
==Corporate Leadership and affairs==
There are currently 8 Board of Directors for the HealthCheck Interplanetary Corporation: Christian Krazny, Lena Krazny, Oscar Krazny, Hector Krazny, Walter Krazny, Richard Usnek, Elizabeth Winters and Juliet Crooks.
HealthCheck is primarily a herediatry owned company, the Krazny family having owned the company since 2487 having bought out all the shares from the Rolla family who had founded the company. As such, 5 of the Board of Directors are from the Krazny family. Most of them are immediate family but a few are extended such as Richard Usnek who is a nephew of Chairman Richard Krazny.
Chairmen of the HealthCheck Interplanetary Corporation
Christian Krazny became the 6th and latest Chairman of the Corporation after Vilshenko Krazny died in an automobile accident on Reach.
==Trauma Response Teams==
HealthCheck operates a unique ambulance service on crime rife worlds such as Orblex or Ebras. These teams are deployed to medical emergencies in the crime rife worlds where paramedical teams are generally expected to be responding to emergencies regarding gunshot wounds and stabbings. As such, Trauma Response Teams are the primary way in which emergency medical aid is delivered to the wounded. These teams are heavily armed with small arms and heavy weaponry mounted on surplus AV-13 Tarrows as well as Pelicans and even Condors that can act as emergency surgical suites for the field. Trauma Response Teams are well known for their extremely fast response times with the average being 6 minutes from the call going out. HealthCheck offers a refund if their teams are unable to respond to a patient within 9 minutes, something which has only occurred a total of 214 times in their 88 year history.
Trauma Response Teams operate 3 primary craft with differing personnel assigned due to their sizes and purposes.
The AV-13 Tarrow is the most numerous transport with the Orblex Branch operating thousands of them to service the hundreds of millions on the world. In flight, the nose 50cal machine gun is controlled by the co-pilot who also monitors the flight systems of the Tarrow. The 50cal is controlled by an IHADSS located inside the enclosed helmet of the co-pilot. The Perimeter Defence Specialists can also man pintle mounted machine guns that can be swivelled outside as the doors open. Inside the AV-13 is a cryopod for patients in serious conditions, a gurney which can be brought outside for patients and medical equipment such as AEDs, dressings, medigel and various other medicines for treating patients. Trauma Response Team Pelicans are much larger and can be fitted with areas for 2 gurneys and 2 cryopods, although there is only 1 machine gun on the pintle mount on the rear. The Pelican, however, has a much more powerful 20mm autocannon in place of the 50cal and is able to transport a larger medical team with more overall firepower.
The most medically advanced craft used by the Trauma Response Teams are the D80-MC Condors, UNSC surplus dropships that have been fitted to become mobile surgical suites for areas not near Class B or higher hospitals that can provide extensive surgical suites. HealthCheck only operates 197 of these craft, as such they are only deployed on Orblex for the more remote regions as well as a few on Birenium II. Deployed with these teams are also a pair of M917 Remote Targeting Defence Weapons, a small man portable remote 6.5mm sentry turret, for support in perimeter defence as teams can be expected to be deployed in areas for hours. The Condors are also able to fit 8 gurneys and 4 cryopods with the surgical suite equipped to the rear of the Condor behind the cockpit. There is also space for further medical staff in the event of a mass emergency where more medical staff are required.
Trauma Response Teams are not only able to act as emergency response units in a civillian setting but are fully capable of supplementing military units. In this form, HealthCheck provides a unique sort of private military company service in that they provide specially trained MEDEVAC teams that can provide care under fire. These teams are able to easily integrate into military forces and units deployed in conflict regions in support of military forces are specially equipped with EV47 Body Armour, C66 helmets as well as scoped rifles. These units typically use the D77-MC Pelican for transport rather than the AV-13 Tarrow due to it's military design and focus on protection and firepower. These teams are typically the best equipped units that HealthCheck has and have seen recent increases in usage ever since the Insurrection started to rapidly increase in scope. HealthCheck traditionally deploys a battalion sized element to a world when they are hired by a military force, around 12 Pelican teams are sent and a Condor surgical team, although this can be increases depending on the severity of the situation. Trauma Response Teams are well liked by the military forces that have deployed with them, especially the CMA who are well known for having inadequate medical units.
Trauma Response Teams are fully trained CBRN Specialists and HealthCheck has units for the disposal of biological and chemical ordnance such as dirty bombs and chemical devices. Trauma Response Teams are capable of under taking non-lethal operations with tasers and tear gas and can support local police forces for treating NBC wounds. HealthCheck maintains a few Trauma Response Teams that are specialists in NBC disposal and care, these teams are Trauma Response Teams 827, 1831, 153, 47 and 26. These teams are regularly deployed during CBRN Operations in support of military forces. The Trauma Response Teams full face helmets are fully sealed and protected against gas, radiation and various other agents.

== Trauma Facilities and Hospitals==
HealthCheck operates tens of thousands of medical facilities all around the galaxy, these are all divided by a class system based on their abilities to treat trauma patients these are: Class D, Class C, Class B, Class A and Class X
Class D Trauma Facilities are those that can provide initial evaluation, stabilisation, diagnostic and transfer to a higher class trauma facility. These facilities are typically clinics for local areas and typically do not service patients delivered by Trauma Response Teams due to their local nature and typically do not have any trauma-trained personnel on station to provide care, although they usually have facilities in order to accommodate trauma personnel and surgical teams. These facilities are typically lightly defended with only a few armed guards.Class C Trauma Facilities are those that can provide advanced initial evaluation, stabilisation, diagnostic and transfer to a higher class trauma facility. These are typically smaller hospital facilities, these facilities are the most common ones for Trauma Response Teams to drop off patients due to the high number of them. These facilities do not typically provide 24/7 surgical teams and trauma trained nurses and doctors, however there are ones usually on standby to arrive as soon as possible from company housing close by. These facilities are typically protected with only a few automated turrets, armed guards and a team of Perimeter Defence Specialists. Typically remote based Trauma Response Teams operate out of these and they have small facilities for serving a small amount of AV-13 Tarrows or D77-MC Pelicans.Class B Trauma Facilities are those that can provide all the basics in treating trauma patients but also can provide more comprehensive trauma care. They can provide 24/7 availability for advanced surgical and emergency medicine treatment as well as having as most common specialist medical teams stationed round the clock, being able to provide critical care for the most common injuries to be found in the regions and worlds wher they operate. Traditionally, these facilities also have a speciality in a type of care such as the Saint Dumble's General Hospital which specialises in paediatric care. These facilities usually are able to accommodate over 1,000 patients at any one time and can be heavily defended with automated turrets, Perimeter Defence Specialists and armed guards. Most Trauma Response Teams operate out of Class B Trauma Facilities in the outer colonies and they have dedicated facilities for the refuelling and repair of AV-13 Tarrows or D77-MC Pelicans.Class A Trauma Facilities are the most advanced facilities and provide the most extensive medical care for the regular consumers. They provide 24/7 care in various specialities such as: neurosurgery, orthopaedic surgery, emergency medicine, radiology and many others. Class A Trauma Facilities usually also teaching facilities and campuses, they are tasked with teaching medicine to medical students and future TRT members. They usually also have a research program and can offer post-trauma rehabilitation. These facilities are usually the biggest on their respective worlds, the largest of these is the famous Lady Suyi General Hospital based on Orblex which is able to treat over 32,000 patients and is one of the most comprehensive medical facilities in the outer colonies. These facilities are typically extremely well protected and also house the barracks for Trauma Response Teams. They are filled with automated turrets as well as a multitude of Perimeter Defence Specialists, it's joked by many that these hospitals are in fact better protected than most military bases. These facilities also have areas for refuelling, housing and repairing multitudes of AV-13 Tarrows and D77-MC Pelicans. Class A Trauma Facilities on Orblex and Birenium II also have facilities to house the large D80-MC Condors operated by Mobile Surgical Teams.Class X Trauma Facilities are the most secretive facilities operated by the HealthCheck Interplanetary Corporation. These facilities are typically either underground or located in secretive locations. They provide immediate advanced emergency medicine care and surgery needed for treating various injuries. They usually do not have permanent specialist care for every field and are primarily tasked with caring for intelligence agents from organisations such as ONI or the DCS as secretly as possible with the best protection for their agents or other persons. These facilities are equipped the most advanced medical tools for the Outer Colonies and are staffed by some of the best medical personnel that HealthCheck employs. Facility 2, on Orblex, notably has HealthCheck's full human flash cloning facilities but they have not been used since the Spartan-II Program. The personnel that work in these facilities are under contract to never talk about what they see and every staff member is issued a fake name for work and as such no doctor, nurse, guard or anyone else knows the true name of another. These facilities are some of the densely defended facilities owned by HealthCheck, they are defended by a multitude of automated turrets and the most experienced Perimeter Defence Specialists employed by the Corporation. These facilities are also not marked on any map or have any evidence to their existence, there are only a few Class X facilities and only in the outer colonies as ONI have their own facilities in the inner colonies. Like Class D Trauma Facilities, these facilities do not house repair or refuelling facilities for any aviation craft.
