Reasons for taking good care of you heart health are clear, however many people are not achieving this for a variety of reasons. The Coach Program informs and supports you to get more out of your health care. Better heart care leads to overall improved health and quality of life.

While working with your GP is essential for good health, the most important person in managing your health is you. The Coach Program complements care from your usual providers with telephone health coaching suited to your needs, so you can take more control of achieving better health outcomes in the long term.

We understand life gets busy, which is why the program is designed to fit around your other priorities. We do our best to accommodate your preferred days and times and can even provide after-hours phone coaching. The Coach Program could even save you time by helping you understand how to get the most out of your GP and specialist consultations, as well as manage your condition more effectively.

By transforming factors that put you at risk into protective factors, you can improve your heart health and understand the influence that medications, nutrition, activity, lifestyle behaviours and regular blood monitoring can have on heart health.

Preventive measures shouldn’t stop after a procedure such as a bypass or stent and subsequent heart events and procedures are common. Bringing your risk factors such as cholesterol and blood pressure to within recommended targets is even more important after a procedure and The Coach Program provides proven and practical advice to assist.

No. The Coach Program is offered to you complimentary by HBF as a way to help you manage your health and wellbeing. It has no impact on the premiums you pay or the benefits you are entitled to under your current policy.
