Navitus Health Solutions Partners with Noom for Work to Provide Comprehensive Metabolic and Stress Management Solution

Amid rising obesity rates and related physical and emotional health issues, Navitus offers clients a proven solution for improving healthy, sustainable habits

MADISON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Navitus Health Solutions announced today a partnership with Noom’s enterprise unit, Noom for Work, to manage weight loss and stress by delivering three preventive health programs for Navitus clients and their members: Noom Weight, Noom Diabetes Prevention Program, and Noom Mood. These programs are also available for clients of EpiphanyRx, Navitus’ in-house solution for emerging market employers.

Powered by psychology, Noom’s evidence-based programs pair a behavior change curriculum with human coaching and peer support to help members uncover the why behind their habits and how to change them. "We’re extremely proud to partner with an innovative organization like Navitus that recognizes the need for an integrated physical and mental health solution to reverse the obesity trend, prevent type 2 diabetes, and reduce stress, ultimately lowering health costs for their plan sponsors and members," says Geoff Cook, CEO of Noom.

Employers are increasingly seeking opportunities to provide cost-saving, effective weight management programs, amid the singular attention on expensive medications, as well as integrated stress management programs that improve the lives of their employees. The collaboration between Navitus and Noom for Work aims to proactively address the long-term health and cost impacts of pre-obesity, pre-diabetes, and stress.

“We are excited to partner with Noom for Work and empower employers and their members with the tools for developing sustainable, healthy habits,” says Laura Jester, Vice President, Clinical Services at Navitus. “Our 20 years of experience in providing cost-saving medication management extends beyond the pharmacy counter, and this partnership furthers our comprehensive approach to affordable, people-centered health care.”
