  <title><![CDATA[Introducing New Health Programs through Livongo for 2021 ]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>The&nbsp;University System&nbsp;of Georgia (USG) has partnered with&nbsp;a vendor,&nbsp;Livongo,&nbsp;to offer new health programs for eligible employees or eligible spouses enrolled in the USG Anthem healthcare plans.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The programs through&nbsp;Livongo&nbsp;will&nbsp;help&nbsp;employees&nbsp;work towards&nbsp;health goals,&nbsp;get&nbsp;guidance on healthy habits and&nbsp;receive&nbsp;personalized health coaching.&nbsp;Employees will&nbsp;find support for diabetes, weight, blood pressure, stress and more.&nbsp;An&nbsp;iPhone or Android smartphone&nbsp;is needed&nbsp;to participate in&nbsp;some&nbsp;of the programs offered&nbsp;through&nbsp;Livongo.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The programs&nbsp;are&nbsp;offered at no additional cost to&nbsp;eligible&nbsp;employees, pre-65 retirees and&nbsp;spouses enrolled in one of the USG&nbsp;Anthem healthcare plans&nbsp;that meet criteria&nbsp;such as&nbsp;having a&nbsp;diabetes&nbsp;diagnosis&nbsp;or&nbsp;a&nbsp;risk score based on a&nbsp;CDC questionnaire.&nbsp;</p>

<p>More information, including details on how to access&nbsp;Livongo,&nbsp;will be shared over the next several weeks.</p>

  <!--  TO DO: correct to not conflate categories and news room topics  -->
  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
