Making the healthy choice the easy choice

At HBOM, we commit to making the healthy choice the easy choice by implementing systems-level change. Our efforts make healthy behaviors achievable and sustainable by increasing access to innovative, evidence-based programs and support. We are proud to be a partnering Collaborative Quality Initiative (CQI), part of the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Value Partnerships program

Seizing on Teachable Moments

Major health events like surgery, pregnancy, and the diagnosis of cancer or a chronic disease can change a person’s whole outlook on life. We believe both patients and providers have the opportunity to teach, learn, and make short-term health decisions around tobacco use, diet, and exercise, that can turn into lifelong positive change.

OUR THREE INITIATIVES

Healthy Diets

HBOM is making healthy diets the easy choice, starting with the Healthy Eating JUMPSTART program. This program delivers low carbohydrate groceries directly to low-income patients with type 2 diabetes.

Tobacco is the single greatest preventable cause of disease and premature death in America today. HBOM is working to ensure all patients get the support they need to quit smoking.
