educational materials to encourage the self-management of health and assistance in
coordinating care among multiple providers. Healthy Together! also provides
EqualityCare clients with information on weight loss, smoking cessation, and how to
adopt healthy lifestyles. Healthy Together! was named the Best Government Disease Management Program by the Disease Management Association of America in 2005.
