Outcomes – Coaching
Outcomes – Culture of Awareness • "I chose [the Health Risk Counseling] Program with Support, because I need the accountability. I also would like to say that I thought this program so far has been very helpful. It is very well done and has given me a better understanding about what is going on in my body. It explained everything really well. " • " I didn't think I could do it. I thought that if I wasn't able to run or work out at the gym, that exercise wouldn't be worth it. I have learned that walking can be very empowering, not only physically, but for my mind and spirit. I was able to make very specific, realistic goals for myself and maintained my outdoor walking goal through the entire winter. I have lost 10 pounds and feel like I am finally moving in the right direction. " • "I was in a tough place when I started working with the clinician and Allegeant over a year ago, but I'm in a better place now. " • And finally, a common question asked: Will I get points for that?
