20 WELLNESS: G-HEALTH MEMBER WELLNESS REPORT 2018 brought the continuation and expansion of G-Health’s successful Employee and Member Wellness programs. Located in the lower level at 564 Niagara Street, the program is comprised of a gym and teaching kitchen to help G-Health employees and members improve their health. Providing services free-of-charge five days per week, Member Wellness has become a staple of how G-Health cares for the population we serve. The Member Wellness program focuses on medication (if needed), exercise, nutrition, and cooking classes to get results. All GBUAHN wellness employees are certified in health coaching which allows them to develop customized treatment plans for each member. The nutrition classes were designed by our Registered Dietitian using evidence based practice. This technique was used for chronic disease management and allowed for the translation of the material into simple and easyto-remember tools. This translation has enabled participants to easily employ new habits in their daily lifestyle. In addition, exercise classes are customized for each member by our certified personal trainer. In conjunction, the nutrition classes and gym sessions arm participants with the skills to improve their diet and lifestyle one step at a time. To add to the Member Wellness services, a partnership with Roswell Park began this past year to provide in-house smoking cessation education groups. Past, current, or neversmoker members can attend the monthly classes to learn the risks of smoking and benefits of quitting. Wellness staff are also available to help members develop a quit plan when they are ready. The benefits of the program extend past lifestyle changes. Many members attend G-Health
