Health Navigation

Your Mass General Health Navigation team takes a holistic view of life’s challenges and partners with you to construct a health action plan that solves the complexities of personal life via health coaching, easing access to care and navigating employer-offered benefits. We start this by asking the question, “What’s most important to you?” and using evidence-based coaching methodologies to build trust-based relationships, recognizing the interrelatedness of all aspects of our well-being.

Program components include:

1. Easier access to Mass General Hospital, Mass General Brigham affiliates, and community providers for primary care and specialty care, including behavioral health (referrals for therapy and/or medication management)
2. Health coaching with a National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach to support a healthy lifestyle by helping you manage stress, balance work and life, eat healthy, stay active, weight management, and improve sleep.
3. Benefits navigation to relevant employer-offered benefits to ensure you’re using your benefits effectively—the right benefit at the right time
