Health Coaching - Heart Health
Move more. Stress Less. Be Heart Smart with Meridian. Our Heart Disease Management program can help you manage heart conditions and prevent long term complications. It helps members with heart failure, coronary vascular disease (CVD), high blood pressure or high cholesterol. We will reach out to you to explain the program, confirm your eligibility and get you enrolled. A Health Coach will complete an assessment and create a personal care plan for you based on your condition, lifestyle, and readiness to change.
Your health coach can help:
- You understand your medications and why it is important to take them as prescribed
- Blood pressure and cholesterol management
- Heart-healthy nutrition and weight management health coaching
- Smoking cessation
- You become more fit and physically active
- Depression screening
- Preventive care like flu and pneumonia vaccinations, preventative screenings
- Education materials to help you learn more about your condition and self-management, and much more!
Throughout the program, your Health Coach will work with you to identify any nonmedical needs you may have, barriers to care plan compliance and will address questions regarding condition management. You can opt in or out of the program at any time, and you are welcome to come back if you change your mind.
