Health Coaches
Your partner in managing chronic conditions and building healthier habits.
What is a Health Coach?
A health coach provides one-on-one support to help you with self-management, medication adherence, and lifestyle goals.
Our Health Coaches come from your local communities and are trained to assist and educate you on managing chronic conditions. Our Health Coaches support people of all ages, including children.
Health Coaches work with individuals living with:
- Diabetes (Type I and Type II)
- Asthma
- COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
- HTN (High blood pressure)
- CHF (Congestive heart failure)
Our Health Coaches Are Trained To Help You
Whole-Person Support
Our coaches build trust and connection through shared experiences as part of the communities they serve. Health Coaches are trained to combine medical knowledge with compassionate engagement to help you understand your health, stay motivated, and develop lasting habits that support long-term well-being.
Clinical & Condition Expertise
Diverge Health Coaches receive training to help you understand your condition, manage your care, and reach your health goals. They learn about the five conditions we support—diabetes, asthma, COPD, high blood pressure, and heart failure—with a focus on self-management and lifestyle support.
Motivational Training
In addition to comprehensive condition training, our coaches are skilled in motivational interviewing—a person-centered approach to communication that empowers you to explore your motivations, set achievable goals, and sustain healthy behaviors.
