Transitions Health Coaching

Health coaching can be defined as helping patients gain the knowledge, skills, tools and confidence to become active participants in their care so that they can reach their self-identified health goals.

MercyOne Siouxland Medical Center offers health coaching to help transition high risk Medicare patients who are being discharged and will be going home to continue their recovery.  The health coaches help them with their discharge instructions, medications, and help secure additional services they might need  after returning home from the hospital.
