Helping You Look Well . . . Feel Well . . . Be Well

Frustrated by failed attempts to lose weight, exercise or quit smoking? BJC HealthCare has a whole new approach -- BJC WellAware. It's a health and fitness program designed for people who need a little extra push, motivation and expertise. And it's customized to your special needs.

stretchingWhat's a BJC WellAware Health Coach?
The BJC WellAware health coach is a health professional who can help guide, educate and motivate you to help you reach your wellness goals. Our health coaches have up-to-date information on health and lifestyle change, useful literature, and recommendations developed by BJC HealthCare and Washington University School of Medicine on the best ways to win at smoking cessation, weight reduction, stress management and substance abuse.

What Does a BJC WellAware Health Coach Do?
Your BJC WellAware health coach:

  • Can work with you to design a totally customized plan of action that includes health-improvement steps that are realistic and comfortable for you. You and your health coach will work together to choose from a list of options determined to be most effective by BJC HealthCare and Washington University School of Medicine
     
  • Can direct you to the places, programs or professionals you need to be successful in your plan of action -- whether those resources are within or outside of BJC HealthCare
     
  • Can check on your progress to help you stay motivated and on track
    It's like having a personal health and fitness consultant, cheerleader and friend -- all in one. And it's affordable. You decide how much or how little to lean on your health coach.
