The University of Pittsburgh is offering a wellness opportunity called Pivio, the Complete Health Improvement Program. Pivio is a proven lifestyle education program that focuses on plant-based eating, physical activity, stress reduction, mindfulness training, and positive psychology. The program helps individuals make positive health changes that can lead to reduced medication use, weight loss, and improved cholesterol and blood glucose levels. The Pivio classes consist of 18 remote sessions over 12 weeks.

All full- and part-time regular faculty and staff with UPMC Health Plan coverage that meet certain health criteria are eligible for the program. Interested participants will meet with a UPMC Health Coach prior to the start of the program for program onboarding and review. There is no cost to participate in the program. To confirm eligibility, please email myhealthcoach@upmc.edu.

Upon completion of the Pivio program, participants will receive:

• Knowledge and skills to develop long-term healthy habits.
• 16-week access to Pivio online education materials and resources.
