In Action

Programming

The promise behind all of our programming is to help people learn how to take the best care of themselves for the rest of their lives no matter where they are, who they’re with, what else is happening, or what’s being served for dinner.

Our proprietary programming and tools engage, educate, and empower individuals and their families and colleagues to do just that: take better care of themselves and improve their health and quality of life.

Our “pantry” of pilot-tested messaging, content, coaching model, integrated platform, assessments, tracking tools and other health-supporting “ingredients” allow us to make an almost endless variety of “meals” with our partners.

Here is a snapshot of what we created and tested (locally and also nationally) and what we draw upon for our new programs:
