Healthe Breathing

-Smoking Cessation Program-

Our new smoking cessation program is offered to health plan participants and will be effective April 1, 2008.

We understand change can be difficult... moving, a new job, losing weight, and/or quitting smoking.This is why Advocate Health Care has included "Healthe Breathing", a smoking cessation enhancement to Healthe You. Advocate is working with Nationwide Better Health® to manage this program and provide tools to make these changes as easy as possible.

Nationwide Better Health® specializes in lifestyle management and focuses on smoking cessation by providing individualized coaching and support to help you quit, and stay quit.

Components included in this program are:
