Health Coach Program

The UPS Healthy Connections – Informed Choices program is about getting the information you need to make smart health care choices. And that can lead to a healthier life!  If you or a family member has a chronic health condition, you can get a health coach to help you completely understand your disease and what to do about it.

Qualifying conditions include:

• Chronic pain (arthritis, back and neck pain)
• High cholesterol
• High blood pressure
• Obesity
• Asthma
• Diabetes
• Heart-related conditions such as coronary artery disease and congestive heart failure 

A health coach can also assist you if you failed to meet any health-related CDL or DOT exam requirements by helping you improve your health and get your certification back. 

A health coach is a registered nurse who is specially trained to help you with each of these conditions or risk factors. Your coach will connect you with an appropriate condition management program, and then will stay in touch to help you reach your goals and provide useful information like:

• What your lab values mean (like blood sugar and cholesterol)
• How to improve your lab values
• What nutrition and exercise options work best for your condition
• What questions to ask your doctor
• Which symptoms are red flags for you
• What those confusing medical terms mean
• Tips for following your doctor’s recommended treatment plan
• Where to get extra support for work/life balance, fulfilling relationships, financial stability, professional success, and sobriety
• Access to dieticians for weight management 

If you or a family member has been diagnosed with one or more qualifying conditions, simply complete a secure online request form and a health coach will contact you.
