Live Better

We believe no one should ever be defined by the illness they are experiencing, whether temporary or chronic. That’s why we offer a range of programs and resources to help you best manage your health.

PATH Programs for Living Better with Chronic Illness

Managing a condition can be overwhelming. We are here to assist by offering eligible members access to education and support through our PATH health management programs. These programs complement the care provided by your doctor by helping you better understand and manage your condition and meet your health goals.

Our PATH Programs are designed to:

Help you understand your condition.
Improve your discussions about your health and safety with your doctors.
Show you how to make lifestyle changes that will keep your condition under good control.
Identify ways for you to stay healthy and safe.
Coordinate your treatment plan with your doctor.

Mental Health and Substance Abuse

EmblemHealth offers a range of mental health and substance abuse resources and information to help you stay healthy, both physically and mentally. Doctors can help detect depression and other mental disorders in their teen patients ages 11 to 18 by participating in Columbia University’s Teen Screen Program, a recognized national model for teen mental health screening.

Integrative Wellness Programs

Achieve better health and wellness with programs that combine the art of healing with the science of medicine. For EmblemHealth, "integrative" relates to a multifaceted approach to wellness — essentially, to approaches that raise awareness of the connection between the mind and the body. They assert that the art of healing and the science of medicine can work together to help every individual achieve better health and wellness.

The Integrative Wellness department offers individuals enrolled in one of our plans, as well as the diverse communities within EmblemHealth’s primary service area, innovative evidence-based programs that promote healthy living, advance better health outcomes and enhance quality of life.
