Distance Learning Cohort
Distance learning programs are yearlong lifestyle change programs delivered 100% by trained lifestyle coaches via remote classroom or telehealth (i.e., HIPAA compliant Zoom meeting), where the lifestyle coach is present in one location and participants are calling or video-conferencing in from another location. This is a great option for participants who want group interaction but live in remote areas and cannot attend an in-person program. Remote classroom/telehealth sessions are one hour and adjustments are made to the schedule as needed for holidays.

A supportive environment where participants work together in a small group (cohort) to learn and implement lifestyle changes such as eating healthier, increasing physical activity, managing stress, and losing a modest amount of weight to prevent or delay development of type 2 diabetes in those at high risk for the disease. |
Registrants may qualify to participate in this yearlong distance learning cohort for as low as $49 per month based on a minimum of 80% attendance/ participation. Payments may be charged to the participant's personal credit/debit card or their Health Savings Account (HSA)/Flexible Spending Account (FSA) credit/debit card. People with diabetes tend to develop heart disease at a younger age and diabetes is considered to be a controllable risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
