Health Coaching

A HealthQuest Health Coach can help you create a personalized plan to help you better manage your health. Talk to your health coach today to get information and support for:

  • Healthy Lifestyle Programs: Healthy eating, weight management, tobacco cessation, and stress management
  • Significant medical issues such as surgery or chronic conditions like diabetes, congestive heart failure, asthma or COPD
  • Clear and concise, evidence-based information on available surgery and treatment options based on your needs and values
  • Working with you to better communicate with your doctor

Health coaches can send printed materials and relevant videotapes to your home on conditions such as heart disease, breast cancer and more.   Call toll-free 1-888-275-1205 to speak to a health coach—a specially trained health professional—anytime, day or night.

Health Screenings

HealthQuest offers health screenings during work time in 51 locations statewide. If you prefer, you may use recent screening results from your doctor from the past 6 months. Health screenings can provide you with important health information including:
  • Total Cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose numbers.
  • Blood pressure and Body Mass Index (BMI) numbers.
  • Health information to fill out your Personal Health Assessment.

You may call your health coach or medical home at anytime to learn more about what your screening results mean to your overall health.
