"In a town hall meeting earlier this month in Green Bay, Wisconsin, President Barack Obama told the crowd that adopting healthier habits can 'take some of the stress out of the [healthcare system].' Health coaches help to motivate individuals to change unhealthy habits, which are directly linked to many chronic conditions. This webinar is designed to sharpen the ability of health coaches to elicit essential and cost-saving behavior changes."
