Hawaii’s Leading Health Plan Also Makes Strategic Investment in Sharecare
While the 2016 Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index from Sharecare ranked Hawaii as the healthiest state in the nation, HMSA is addressing health challenges still facing the state’s residents, including diabetes, obesity and heart disease. To support this, HMSA recently added five Hawaii communities to the Blue Zones Project, Sharecare’s nationally-recognized initiative that uses scientifically proven approaches of longevity, health and happiness to create vibrant communities and boost the well-being of their residents.
Additionally, HMSA offers its members access to Dr. Ornish’s Program for Reversing Heart Disease – also part of Sharecare through its 2016 acquisition of Healthways – which is the only scientifically proven program to stop the progression and reverse the effects of heart disease, and is covered by Medicare and other insurers like HMSA. Later this year, the content, tools and resources of the Blue Zones Project and Dr. Ornish’s Program for Reversing Heart Disease also will be available on the Sharecare platform.
