John – A Triumphant Participant
“Your presence on the floor and our consistent meeting schedule keeps me on track.”
“I am able to go longer between cigarettes than I ever thought I could, making quitting seem like something I can do.”
“I am now taking my meds regularly based on your suggestions – alarms on my phone and keeping extras at work in case I forget them.”
“Thanks to our nutrition discussions, I am now bringing in leftovers for lunch instead of buying food out of the vending machine.”
“Thanks to you, I now know the medication I need to take to get my numbers in check.”
A Proud Provider
I am so proud of him. He was an unlikely participant to seek out the service his company was offering through Ramp Health. But over time, and with a lot of persistence on my part, he opened-up and took action to help himself. It wasn’t an easy course of action for him to take, and he had to face and deal with a lot of new diagnoses.
We spent a lot of time discussing the risks of not knowing and, therefore, not treating disease.
I honestly don’t think any of this would have happened without our coaching relationship, and I know he has added years to his life because of it.
That makes me proud.
