BayCare is helping adults with chronic conditions improve their mental and physical wellbeing by providing 3-years of funding for our Health Buddies program. Thanks to their support Health Buddies will provide encouragement and health coaching for 1,240 individuals who struggle with loneliness and isolation due to their chronic health condition. Health Buddies provide friendly, informative phone calls to help individuals improve their health knowledge, decrease preventable hospital visits, and connect to community resources that can improve their quality of life and self-sufficiency.
