Wellness Program
A healthy workplace begins with healthy employees. As a Lewis & Clark employee you have a number of wellness activities and education opportunities available to you.
Professional Wellness Coaching
 Wellness coaching pairs you with a professional health coach for an immediate, solution-focused, preventive health consultation by telephone. The coach is a degreed experienced health professional. Coaches provide answers to your general wellness questions, develop an action plan with you, provide on-going preventive health and complimentary care coaching and education, provide educational materials, and assist in locating appropriate health resources in the following areas:
Weight management, smoking cessation, fitness and exercise, pre and post-natal care, menopause, chronic conditions (asthma, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and back pain) and complimentary care (chiropractic, yoga, acupuncture, massage)
You can access Wellness Coaching by calling EASE at (800) 654-9778
