How Our Health Action Plans Work
Our new, streamlined, simplified, and flexible health action plan program puts you in the driver’s seat and allows us to help you create a highly personalized plan to meet your individual health goals and tackle your personal obstacles. One size doesn’t fit all when it comes to change readiness, but every step towards better health counts, so we’ll meet you where you are and work at your pace.
Our Nourish, Move, Thrive, and Recharge health action plans include:
- Intake assessment form to evaluate your current health and habits and help you determine the best areas to focus upon.
- Initial appointment appointment with a health coach to define your goals and customize an action plan that includes available onsite and virtual resources and services. (You’ll receive your $100 HAP credit after your initial appointment.)
The Healthy Habits Health Action Plan is a video-based program that doesn’t require an intake or health coach appointment for completion.
Our Track for Success Virgin Pulse quarterly challenges require participants to set a goal and track their habits in Virgin Pulse.

What do you want to improve?
Nutrition plays a major role in overall health and wellness by strengthening your immune system and reducing your chances of developing many chronic medical conditions. When you eat well, your energy level increases, you feel healthier and stronger, and you handle stress better. We can help you improve your nutritional intake and eating habits, including food quality, meal planning and prepping, mindful eating, food connection, and more.

Regular physical activity is one of the best ways to improve your health and overall well-being. Exercise relieves stress, improves mood, increases energy, and helps you sleep better. Most medical experts recommend aiming for at least 150 minutes a week of moderate physical activity. We can help you improve your fitness whether you are just getting started, looking for ways to stay motivated, or are training for a triathlon.

Research shows that people who set smaller, more attainable behavior goals are more likely to meet and consistently maintain those behaviors. This video-based HAP is designed to help you set and achieve goals for healthy, sustainable habits through small changes to your daily habits. The video series covers the science of habits and behavior change. Armed with this knowledge, you can reflect on how to change your current habits and build daily practices that will help you meet your wellness goals and improve overall health.
COMING SOON!
Although this HAP does not require you to meet with a health coach, you can always schedule an appointment to delve deeper into your plan or for guidance on some specific habits you can implement to meet your goals.
Offered four times in a calendar year, this Virgin Pulse challenge and health action plan helps you develop healthy habits by tracking your actions on the Virgin Pulse platform. And the best part is that now you can choose what you track: steps, sleep, or mindful minutes.
