Setting goals with your Health Coach

Your health coach will help you identify and set goals that are important to you. They will guide you on small, easy steps to build on the habit and reach the goal. Together, you will make a plan that fits your life and helps you feel your best.

With heart disease, diet, exercise and other lifestyle changes can have a big impact on how you feel and can help keep you healthy longer. While it’s not always simple to change habits, many people find it gets easier when they start feeling better, seeing results, and learning new skills.

Goals We've Helped Patients With

Eating Better: "I will swap one sugary soda for a glass of water every day this week."
Moving More: "I will take a short, 10-minute walk after dinner, three times a week."
Less Salt: "I will use herbs and spices instead of salt to flavor my dinner tonight.'
Self-Care: "I will check my weight every morning and write it down in my log."
