WISEWOMAN provides free health screenings and coaching to help you make small, healthy changes in your life.
WISEWOMAN helps low-income, uninsured, and underinsured women ages 35-64 make healthy changes by setting small goals.
In 2022, with support from United Way of Southeast Michigan, WISEWOMAN became more than just a program for those involved. WISEWOMAN health coaches have become a safe, reliable, and empowering influence for participants to focus on what’s most important to them. “My calls with my health coach have been the catalyst for change for me. My whole mindset has shifted. My success is spilling over into other parts of my life too. I’m much happier with where I am than where was a few months ago. I am so grateful,” says Benita T., a WISEWOMAN participant.
