Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death in the United States carrying an estimated cost of $351.2 billion. Employers are taking on more of this burden and costs are expected to top $15,000 per employee in 2020.

Health care strategies to address CVD and diabetes risk by improving lifestyle are becoming an integral part of workforce strategy. Health coaching interventions that focus on physical activity, dietary interventions, and behavior change science can significantly improve these health risks

In this webinar, Jane Ruppert, RDN, LDN, CDE, will discuss why health coaching programs should be an integral part of your employee wellness program.  She will share insights from aggregate health data demonstrating statistically significant improvement in CVD risk factors for employees engaged in health coaching. Jane will also discuss real-life insights gathered from a hospital employer group that saw CVD risk reductions after implementing a comprehensive wellness program including health coaching interventions.

• The prevalence of CVD and diabetes risk including the economic burden.
• The lifestyle intervention strategies that are most effective in reducing CVD risk.
• Why health coaching programs should be an integral part of an employee wellness program.
