New publication supports our approach to
integrated care

Since they were established in 1999, UPMC Health Plan’s care management programs have helped members with chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease to get the personalized care they need to maintain or improve their health.

In an effort to build on our care management programs, UPMC Health Plan introduced its MyHealth initiative in 2006. This program encourages healthy lifestyles through a variety of educational and wellness programs, including online tools, discounts on physical fitness activities, and personalized health coaching programs on weight management, tobacco cessation, and physical activity.

Many of our members can benefit from this broad spectrum of care, which is why we created the MyHealth Insight newsletter. In one newsletter, you can now read information that specifically applies to a chronic condition you or someone you know has.

In this issue, you’ll also find information of a general nature. For example, we have information on Emmi, a healthy recipe, and important information on reading food labels. And, you can learn about UPMC Health Plan’s online tools that can help you lead a healthy life.

We hope you enjoy reading MyHealth Insight. Providing you with articles that are useful and informative is our goal.
