Health coaching is a patient-centered approach to engaging people in the self-management of their health and well-being. A health coach is a guide who helps patients gain the knowledge, skills and self-efficacy to reach their health related goals.
UNCG Health Coaching Programs have trained over 600 people in health & wellness coaching! Our trained health professionals work in hospitals, primary care practices, community agencies, worksites and schools.
