Our cardiac wellness team includes a certified health coach who can empower you to achieve your health and wellness goals. Health coaching provides encouragement, support and accountability that helps you stay on track. If we think you may benefit from health coaching, we’ll refer you to our health coach for a consultation. We’ll get to know you during this initial meeting and learn about your health history and personal wellness goals. We may also have you meet with a dietitian and exercise physiologist to evaluate your health needs.
After the evaluation, our health coach will work with you on a wellness plan that may include meal planning, exercise, smoking cessation and other lifestyle changes. The health coach will meet with you weekly for three months to help track your progress, and suggest changes to fit your needs. Above all, these meetings will provide positive encouragement to help you meet your goals.
For more information, call (843) 724-2993.
If you’re looking for extra support or supervision during your workouts, our HeartFitness Program can help. Unlike a typical gym, this program has exercise physiologists and specialists on-site if you have a question or problem while working out.
The HeartFitness Program is available at Roper Hospital in downtown Charleston. The program includes annual evaluations and coaching sessions for people with no history of heart disease and well-controlled blood pressure, blood sugar, heart rhythm and breathing during exercise. This program can also include personal training.
Roper St. Francis Healthcare has registered dietitians and nutritionists to help any patient with dietary questions, meal planning, carb counting and weight loss. We’ll work with you to create a customized plan that fits your nutritional needs and food preferences. Our team can also help address meal planning for specific dietary needs, such as food allergies.
