“Live Well, Eat Well, Be Well”
Through our Health and Wellness Hub, we not only hope to provide our members improved
access to health and wellness resources, we also want to bridge the gap in health education.
Using Technology
for A Healthier You!
Currently the data shows
Inland Empire residents are
suffering from chronic diseases
due to lifestyle and eating
habits.
The Inland Empire (also known as the
IE) is quickly becoming the fastest
growing region in the nation. It
includes both San Bernardino and
Riverside counties. With over 4.2
million residents, Inland Empire
Health Plan (IEHP) is committed to
giving the residents we serve better
health outcomes.
Some of these diseases
include:
Through our Health and Wellness
Hub, we not only hope to provide our
members improved access to health
and wellness resources, we also want
to bridge the gap in health education.

The purpose of this Hub is to
help encourage Inland Empire
residents to change their
behaviors into healthy ones.
Educate
Accessible
A large portion of the San Bernardino
(38%)2 and Riverside county (66%)3
populations were identified as overweight
or obese.
At IEHP, we understand a good portion
of our population is in poverty1 and
cannot afford costly resources.
We want our Hub to be as accessible to
the public as possible.
To help mitigate this, IEHP looks forward
to providing health and wellness
education ranging from health
assessments to nutrition to exercise.
That is why our Hub will be available for
free soon in both the Apple App Store
and Google Play App Store.
We also hope to give necessary,
personalized health and wellness
resources to everyone who uses
our Health and Wellness Hub.
Be Well
Engage
Using the latest methods
of engagement, we hope
to capture IE residents’
interest in our Hub
through fun challenges
and rewards.
Ranging from
leaderboards to
obtaining vouchers, our
Hub can prove to be
entertaining.
Like our tagline, IEHP
wishes our residents to
Be Well as they use our
Hub for the betterment of
their health and wellness.
