We’re offering more convenient, time-saving options for people on the go We’re excited about the tools and services Northern Light Health is rolling out to help you make the most of your time and healthcare coverage. And we’re just getting started. We’ll be sure to keep you up to date as new tools and services become available in the coming months! By Kevin Dunton, BS, CtHWC, CPT, Wellness Coach As a health coach, I am a supportive guide to help you set health goals. Each session, we work to fufill these goals by breaking them down into manageable and actionable steps. I also help with: • Accountability. Knowing you must check in about your progress can give you the push you need to move forward. • Encouragement. I’m your cheerleader, and I’ll be there to pick you up when you’re having a not-so-good day. • Unconditional support. I won’t judge your actions. You decide what works and what doesn’t in reaching your goals. Try one of my virtual classes, like Choose to Lose, a six-week weight-loss program.

When COVID hit and I started working from home, it was common for me to sit for nine hours a day, and it quickly started taking a toll on my body and mind. When they launched the Virtual Wellness classes, I aligned it around my work breaks. It was the perfect solution to get me moving again! The coaches are fantastic about walking you through the moves, motivating you, making it fun, and answering questions. Two years and down 28 pounds later, virtual classes helped ensure I stayed active as a remote employee! I feel more energetic now than I did 20 years ago! —Jane Patrock, CRCP-I, Business Support Analyst II, Northern Light Health Jane Patrock, CRCP-I, Business Support Analyst II
