New service takes the guesswork out of
achieving one's health goals by empowering individuals to
pair Quest lab results with personalized coaching
SECAUCUS, N.J,, Dec. 3, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Personalized, one-on-one health coaching is now
available for purchase on questhealth.com. Made available by Pack
Health®, a Quest Diagnostics (NYSE: DGX) company that provides
evidence-based patient engagement services, questhealth.com's
Health Coaching pairs individuals with board-certified health
advisers who provide personalized support, resources, and education
focused on the individual's unique health goals. The holistic
programs focus on several key areas, including general health,
weight management, chronic kidney disease, type 2 diabetes, or high
cholesterol. For a more tailored experience, individuals can pair
Quest lab work with their health coaching to put their diagnostic
insights into action.*
Efficacy is one of the top considerations for consumers when
purchasing wellness products, and nearly one in five U.S.
consumers prefer personalized products and services1.
Health Coaching sold on questhealth.com provides guidance,
accountability, support, and other benefits that are crucial to
achieving desired health goals. A key feature of the program is the
development of a monitoring plan to help individuals incorporate
healthier behaviors into their life for meaningful long-term
results.
"As many as 60% of Americans say they want health coaching, yet
the majority have never had the service offered to them by a
healthcare provider or employer2," said Richard Adams, Senior Vice President and General
Manager of Quest Consumer, which includes questhealth.com.
"Changing behavior is often critical to preventing chronic diseases
and achieving better health. Questhealth.com gives individuals the
ability to identify health risks via lab tests, and now they can
also engage certified health advisors to develop a plan to help
reduce those risks to ultimately achieve better health."
The new health coaching service is available as a 4-session
package for $225 or a 6-session
package for $275. Each package
includes:
- A dedicated health advisor who supports individuals one-on-one
throughout 30-minute virtual coaching sessions. All health advisors
hold a National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach
certification.
- Regular texts and emails from a health advisor to help keep
individuals on track and motivated toward their unique health
goals.
- A welcome kit including training booklets, an exercise stretch
band, and additional health resources to empower individuals on
their health journeys.
- Curated digital content with weekly learning modules and
informative articles and videos.
- Individuals also have the option to share any recent lab test
results ordered through questhealth.com or their doctor with
their health advisor, which is encouraged as they can provide
valuable insights into risk of preventable diseases like type 2
diabetes and heart disease.*
