Free, one-on-one, confidential health and wellness coaching is available to all Marquette employees and their spouses as part the My Wellness program. Eligible individuals are able to meet with professional wellness coaches for general health support or for a variety of specific wellness matters that are among the most common stressors, challenges and priorities in people’s lives, all for no cost to participants. All the coaching offerings can be found on the Health Coaching page.
Participation in health and wellness coaching is on the rise and is expected to increase even more in the next several years across the country. With more and more people choosing to prioritize their personal wellness, and with the rising cost of healthcare, individuals are looking for a way to manage things like chronic conditions, mental health and overall health to avoid or lessen the need for costly care. Health coaching provides individuals with a professional partner to provide personalized guidance, support and empowerment on these matters.
While many Americans who participate in wellness coaching pay an hourly rate to meet with a wellness coach, Marquette employees and their spouses can take advantage of this benefit for no cost. Additionally, 25 My Wellness points can be earned for completion of each coaching program, up to a maximum of four times each program year.
