"Mission: Health holds people accountable. I’m a nurse, and I know I need to take my medication, but I would sometimes let my prescriptions run out. Lynn (my health coach) would ask me if I was getting my drugs refilled, and this would help me stay on track. She is always encouraging me."
OB Case Manager Becky Gregory, RN, Optima Health
Sherrie Harris, a patient advocate at Sentara Obici Hospital, has diabetes and heart disease. She is just one of the thousands of Sentara Healthcare employees that Mission: Health has helped.
Harris found that the support through the wellness program was just what she needed to get back on track and take control of her health. Over the past two years she has taken positive steps leading to better health indicators and a reduction in the number of medications she takes.
