Today, chronic disease management ranks as one of the top priorities in the healthcare industry. With the total costs in the US for direct health care treatment of chronic health conditions totaling $1.1 trillion, ensuring patients know how to manage their health and prevent costly health episodes is a primary goal.

More and more healthcare organizations are turning to Health Coaches to drive patient motivation and engagement with healthy behaviors.

Health Coaches are helping patients with stress management, health goal-setting, time management, and other activities needed to improve their lifestyles and overall wellness.

Health Coaches possess the skills needed to help patients develop intrinsic motivation for healthy behavior changes, with each visit bringing them closer to managing their own health and making lifelong changes.

Health Coaches understand there are different types of paths for different types of people; with the motivator being unique to each patient’s health goals and lifestyle changes required to meet those goals.

Ultimately, Health Coaches are transforming the healthcare industry by having a powerful impact on clients’ and patients’ lives.
