Vera Health Coaching
Vera Whole Health is not your typical clinic, and as part of their holistic offering they provide no-cost confidential health coaching to all PPO plan participants and eligible dependents.
Your health coach can help you make small but impactful lifestyle changes. They know that adjusting your diet or routine can be hard and are there to help you find solutions that work for you. Your coach will take the time needed to understand your situation and will act as a partner in your health journey.
FIND A HEALTH COACH: The Trust’s primary Vera clinic is based at the Fort Dent location located at 6700 Fort Dent Way, Suite 100, Tukwila, WA 98188. Though you may visit any Vera center across the Seattle region. Visit Vera Whole Health to find a Vera location near you or call (206) 337-6080 or email.
