Simple Innovations Guide Customers on the Path to Good Health

There are many ways that a health care company can help people live healthier lives. Sometimes it is about making sure individuals are taking the right medications or they have access to the physicians they need or specific health care facilities. But other times the path to good health is much simpler.

Nina and Ed had always made fitness a part of their lifestyles, but after joining SecureHorizons by UnitedHealthcare and enrolling in the Silver Sneakers Fitness Program — a benefit offered at no additional cost — they saw an opportunity to add variety to their exercise routine.

In just three months, Nina and Ed logged in more than 53 visits each and learned about new cardio- and weight-training workouts. Now, they exercise nearly every day of the week and recently incorporated the Silver Sneakers Muscular Strength and Range of Movement class into their busy fitness routine. “We are delighted and very appreciative of SecureHorizons for providing the Silver Sneakers benefit,” says Nina, who regularly encourages her friends to take advantage of the program.

UnitedHealth Group recognizes that innovations in health care don’t always have to involve the newest medications or procedures. Simple initiatives, such as offering consumers programs that help motivate them to exercise regularly, can go a long way toward improving health and well-being.
