FREMONT, Mich., Jan. 9, 2023 – Community members who are looking for ways to add more fruits and veggies to their diets or learn how to remain calm and balanced under stress can now tap into Corewell Health™ Gerber Hospital’s certified health coaches to access the tools and resources needed to succeed.
 
Through the free Motivate program, participants can reach their best health and well-being by developing a personal wellness plan that includes an overall goal, monthly objectives and first steps to creating a healthier lifestyle.
 
“Our Motivate program allows participants to create a step-by-step plan that fits their individual needs and helps them reach their health and wellness goals,” said Erica Jordan, Gerber Hospital community education specialist. “Over a 12-week period, our certified health coaches will support and encourage participants as they work to make positive behavior changes that impact their overall health and wellness.”
 
Health and wellness coaching may be especially beneficial for those who need help managing a condition, setting realistic goals or are serious about changing lifestyle habits.
For one participant, celebrating the small victories every step of the way was a huge part of her success. “I am a healthier person today both physically and emotionally after completing this health coaching program,” she said. “I was inspired to set personal goals that brought such a feeling of satisfaction when I completed them. The small steps have helped lead me to an overall healthier lifestyle with my eating, sleeping, exercise and beyond.”
The Motivate program provides up to 12 free coaching sessions with a certified health coach, along with follow-up after six months to help provide accountability and support.
 
“We hope that the health coaching experience leaves participants feeling energized and confident to independently embark on new areas of health and wellness,” said Jordan.
