Health Specialist Role

Health specialists can serve onsite at the workplace to promote healthy lifestyle practices among employees. Health specialists can also participate in periodic health screenings, informal health education sessions, and structured lifestyle support programming.

In addition, employees can access individualized consultation from a health specialist through our TotalCare Health Portal or telephonically. They can also administer classes that employers already offer, whether those classes were created in-house or by another company.
