Health Coach for One-on-One Support Take the Call! You can get personal, one-on-one health coaching to help you manage a chronic condition and reach your health goals. If you’ve been diagnosed with heart disease or diabetes, one of our health coaches may call you – and we urge you to take the call! These trained professionals, along with your doctor, will show you how changes in your diet and exercise routine can make dramatic improvements in your health. They’ll also help you develop a realistic plan and be there to support you every step of the way.

1199SEIU 24-Hour Nurse Helpline Don’t forget that you can always call the Nurse Helpline – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – with medical questions. If you’re not sure about a medication or your child isn’t feeling well in the middle of the night, a nurse is on hand to help you – just call (866) 935-1199.

Make the Call! Your personal health coach is also the person who can help you quit smoking or lose weight. If you’ve tried to quit smoking or manage your weight on your own, you know how hard it can be. But your health coach will work with you to develop a specific plan and set achievable goals. If you’re trying to change your diet, you’ll also have access to a health coach who will show you how to eat healthier while still enjoying foods you like – and reduce your risk of weight-related health problems, including Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and heart disease. So make sure you use the wellness tools available to you as an 1199SEIU member: call a health coach today at (866) 935-1199 and get the support you need to succeed!
