Individualized Health Planning Sessions (IHPs)

  • Want to Be Healthier? We Can Help.
    Individualized Health Planning sessions (IHPs) will begin October 4. Sign up and participate in a series of six face-to-face health planning sessions with an experienced wellness consultant, who will customize a plan to help you achieve your personal health and wellness goals.

    • Improve overall health • Manage weight • Reduce stress
    • Develop an exercise plan

    IHPs are a benefit of your UA Health In Action program, provided at no out-of-pocket cost to you. Program participation is limited, and sessions fill-up fast. We offer convenient times and on-campus locations. IHPs are available to both new and past participants. Only UA Health Plan eligible employees may participate.

    Registration begins in September.

    Congratulations! The numbers from the first two phases of the IHP program not only shows its success, but also demonstrates the measurable, positive impact on participants' health.

    In the first two phases:

    • 1172 unique participants tracked their biometrics.
    • 74 participants lost at least 10 pounds.
    • 128 participants lost at least 2 inches from their waistline.
    • 82 participants decreased their blood pressure levels to normal, from at least 140/90.
    • 77 participants decreased their cholesterol by at least 40 points.
    • More participants were successful in other health goals.
