Join new Fresh Start wellness program that starts in January
Meet goals with the support of Alaska health coaches online
January 6, 2026 — Are you ready to make meaningful changes to feel better, have more energy and prevent type 2 diabetes? The Alaska Department of Health is supporting an online program that matches adults with Alaska-based coaches to meet those health goals.
Alaska’s Fresh Start campaign connects adults with a variety of programs for better health. Fresh Start is sharing a new opportunity that begins the last week of January. This 13-week program will match adults with trained health coaches studying in eligible Alaska university degree programs, such as dietetics and health education.

Eligible adults living anywhere in the state can join this wellness coaching program at no cost to them. This program will be offered online. Up to 150 participants will work with a coach based in Alaska to improve what they eat and drink, move more, lose weight or stay at a healthy weight, sleep better and reduce stress. They will join a group with other Alaskans working toward the same health goals.

This online program is being promoted with many other options through Alaska’s Fresh Start campaign.

Fresh Start programs are offered in-person, online or over the phone. These programs help Alaskans meet many health goals:
