Today’s medical community is encouraging people to improve their health by making better, healthier choices. Intermountain developed the “LiVe Well” program; a team of healthcare professionals working together to help Utah families and communities make choices that positively impact their health. This program reaches members and employees throughout Intermountain Healthcare system’s 22 hospitals and 185 clinics.

This webinar discusses how Intermountain defined LiVe Well; developed the operational and construction standards that guide its development; implement the program across their healthcare facilities; and the process they use to continually review and update it. Hear research that supports specific program elements, the abilities and prompts that are used to support healthy living and the environmental relationships that building design can support.

Presenters will also discuss specific environmental and design elements, including circulation, stairwell design, views to exterior, community gardens, active walking paths, places of respite, signage, and healthy eating areas.  The Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo, UT and the Dixie Regional Medical Center in St. George, UT will be used as case studies to showcase successful implementation of these elements. Attendees will also understand the operational structure and behavior change framework that help make LiVe Well successful.
