Health & Wellness Coaching

This preventative UVA-WorkMed initiative is provided to individuals and groups. Coaching builds on the relationship we have with individual clients or those who participate in a physician physical, biometric screening, Hoo's Well program, or one of our physician-directed occupational health services. 

We can answer questions that arise after a physical and provide guidance for next steps, questions, or concerns following their physical or health risk appraisal. They may also need basic interpretation of results and guidance for next steps. The coaching program seeks to educate, address health concerns, and build the bridge between knowing how to get healthy and actually doing it.
