Self Management Support

Complete this questionnaire that will help you design a plan to help you lose weight. More resources can be found at the National MOVE!®website.  You may decide this is all you need to get started and continue on your own.  

However, if you would like more input from our MOVE!® Team, we have these available services and options:

  • Meet with your Hines MOVE!® Team Member to learn more about the program and set some beginning goals.
  • The walk in clinic is available from 10AM-Noon M-F.
  • Same day consultations with a dietitian.
  • Individual weigh-ins.
  • Goal setting.
  • Meal planning and modification.
  • Follow up as desired in person or via phone.

CCHT or Tele-MOVE!®

This is a good option for those of you that enjoy technology and might opt for a more private program for yourself in the comfort of your own home. This aspect of the program offers daily communication via an in home telehealth device called a Health Buddy. The Health Buddy is easy to use and will provide weight management guidance via a series of daily questions related to healthy lifestyle changes, physical activity, healthy eating and behavior change.
