PATIENT WELLNESS
A VISION…
”For physical activity to be considered by all
healthcare providers as a vital sign in every
patient visit, and that patients are effectively
counseled and referred as to their physical
activity and health needs, thus leading to
overall improvement in the public's health and
long-term reduction in healthcare cost.”

A Patient-Centered Approach to Healthy Lifestyle Management
Healthcare professionals know the resistance people have to change.
If a patient were asked if they would like their doctor to treat their disease or symptom while addressing the underlying cause or without addressing the underlying cause, how would they answer? Certainly address the underlying cause. Behavioral change occurs over time with structured, continuous intervention. Information or recommendations for a healthier lifestyle are not enough; a program that fosters accountability and support is essential.
Healthy Edge delivers a patient-centered approach to healthy lifestyle management assisting individuals to take control over their well-being. We work in alliance with healthcare professionals enabling patients to make and sustain recommended lifestyle changes. Our health and wellness coaching programs provide your patients with the extended support they need to achieve a more balanced, healthier lifestyle.
