Frequently Asked Questions
How is Health Coaching different from a regular internal medicine visit?
Unlike internal medicine visits, which include preventive exams and screenings, Health Coaching does not include these services. Instead, it offers a personalized and collaborative approach, focusing on lifestyle factors such as sleep, stress, nutrition, and exercise. Through ongoing sessions, you and your Health Coach work together to develop strategies and a personalized care plan aimed at achieving your wellness goals.
Is my internal medicine provider also my Health Coach?
No. Health Coaching program participants will work one-on-one with Gaby Ruiz, RN, a trained Health Coach. During your ongoing sessions, Gaby will collaborate with you and your internist to support your goal achievement, refining them as necessary.
Do I need to see the same Health Coach every time?
Yes, seeing the same Health Coach is recommended for consistency and clarity.
Do I need to complete any paperwork before my first Health Coaching visit?
No. During your initial visit, you will complete a patient questionnaire to enable your Health Coach to work with you to create a personalized care plan.
Do I need to have an annual physical or wellness exam before I start Health Coaching?
No. If your Health Coach feels that a physical exam or lab work is necessary for your care plan before you begin Health Coaching, they will let you know.
How will I learn more/get information from my Health Coach?
You will receive educational materials from your Health Coach through the Health Center at Hudson Yards member portal.
