Health & Wellness

Wellness

Your well-being is important to Palomar Health. Palomar Health’s benefit programs offer a variety of services to help support your health and
well-being including a no-cost employee assistance program, discounts to fitness clubs, and health and wellness tools and resources on topics
such as nutrition, fitness, smoking cessation, weight loss, etc. To begin your journey of good health, Palomar Health has developed a path to
help you get there starting with taking your Personal Health Assessment (PHA). The PHA is confidential and gives you a personal starting point
to help focus on the areas most important to you and your family. Those who participate in the health assessment are also able to work one-
on-one with a health coach who can help address your needs and help you make positive changes. This health coaching is available free of
charge. For more information see below.
