What is Health Coaching?
Health coaching is a patient-centered process that promotes longitudinal, relationship-based interactions with patients to engage them in their own care. Health Coaching helps patients build the knowledge, skills, and confidence required to manage their chronic conditions and improve their health. Health coaches empower patients to share in decision making during clinical encounters and to engage in self-management activities in the environments where they spend most of their time, such as home, work, and school.
CEPC has trained thousands of people in Health Coaching across the United States and Canada including clinic staff and volunteers, community health workers, and health professional students. We have also helped colleges and universities integrate health coaching into their curricula.
