Executive Summary
Circle of Life Health and Wellness Coaching

The big Circle of our lives can merge with the smaller circle of supportive friends and tools to heal and empower us, our families, our communities -- even our world.

-- From The Circle of Life by Rebecca McLean and Dr. Roger Jahnke

Healthy People 2010, the US Department of Health and Human Services set of health goals for the nation for the first decade of this century, has two primary objectives: Increase quality and years of healthy life. Eliminate health disparities among different segments of the population. Healthy People 2010 challenges all of us --professionals, communities, and individuals, to take specific steps to ensure, that good health and long life are enjoyed by all.

Meeting the Challenge with the Circle of Life

Many focus areas of Healthy People 2010, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, educational and community based programs, and injury and violence prevention can be addressed by the educational and self-care methodologies of Circle of Life Health and Wellness Coaching.

The Circle of Life's powerful wellness coaching methods and processes encourages self-reliance in managing chronic health challenges, and can help prevent disease and revitalize performance and productivity through healthy lifestyle, and the choices people make (behavioral factors).

Health Action has carefully refined these lifestyle coaching and empowerment tools for an array of clients including hospitals and hospital networks, educational institutions, faith communities, and community agencies. We believe that everyone has the capacity to improve their health, complement their medical treatment, and reduce their medical costs.
