Background on Health Coaching: Health coaching has become an integral part of today’s wellness programs. Using a whole-person approach to treat the entire person instead of just a few symptoms, health coaches are key in navigating patients toward healthier lifestyles and disease self-management. As healthcare costs continue to soar, health plans and employers are looking to telephonic and Web-based health coaches for relief from the financial strains as health coaches are not only treating the illness, but promoting healthy lifestyles and choices in general.
Newsletter Highlights: The HealthCoach Huddle monthly e-newsletter will bring you the most current news available on news on health coaching including from coaching strategies and interviews with and quotables from the industry's leading health coaches.
