Gordian Health Solutions, Inc. has announced its new corporate name: Onlife Health, Inc. The name change reflects the personal health coaching firm’s rollout of innovative Positive Living Programs, which are designed to promote corporate workplace wellness and support sustained behavior change.
“Gordian pioneered the health coaching industry in 1996, and after more than 14 years in the business, we are delighted to unveil our transformation to Onlife Health. From the new name to our exciting Positive Living Programs to the enhanced online portal, we are addressing the very real market concerns of driving engagement, sustaining behavior change and getting real results,” said Chris Hunter, president and CEO of Onlife.
The cornerstone of Onlife’s Positive Living Programs is onmyside™, the company’s pioneering health coaching model that embraces a coordinated, personalized, user-centric approach. Onlife’s health coaching model is unique in the marketplace. Participants initially talk with a personal health advisor, who is trained as both a health coach and engagement specialist. The personal health advisor then connects the participant with a dedicated health coach. One dedicated health coach is paired with one participant for the duration of the program, working together to develop a personalized, actionable Life Plan and build a long-term, trusting relationship.
Supporting the health coaches are clinical specialists who are highly educated and experienced as RNs, diabetes specialists, registered dietitians, exercise specialists and health educators. Onlife’s health coaches are credentialed and undergo a rigorous health coaching certification process.
The company has developed an innovative Web 2.0 member site to complement the onmyside programming. This new tool combines the company’s historic strength in health assessment, lifestyle coaching and health education with aspects of social networking, behavior modification, engagement, incentive management and integrated client culture.
Further setting Onlife apart in the marketplace, the Onlife experience extends beyond the coaching session and the computer to engage individuals where they work to set a pattern for healthy living and help them live their life “on.” For example, Onlife offers:
- Onsite challenges, campaigns, biometric screenings and seminars to help employers establish a healthy culture that supports positive lifestyle changes
- Onlife’s 21-day jumpstart program to provide a fast track to both participant and client engagement
- A comprehensive assessment of the workplace environment to drive better participation
