Lisa Cotton - CIGNA Customer Experience
|
www.cigna.com | CIGNA's Video Customer Experience Series | Lisa Cotton always thought she had another day before needing to become accountable for her health and lifestyle management. It wasn't until after receiving a blood pressure check during a Health Awareness Day held at her workplace, Ferguson that Lisa realized "another day" was today.

Haunted by the doctor's words "you could possibly be having a stroke or a heart attack," Lisa immediately scheduled an appointment with her doctor that evening. While in the doctor's office her blood pressure continued to rise and she ended up spending the night in the hospital on a nitroglycerin drip.

The CIGNA Mobile Learning Lab is an interactive exhibit aboard an 18-wheeler that aims to help people learn about factors that affect health. It explores the connection between community and health-- how where you live can affect your health; offers guidance on portion control and how to read food labels; and is equipped with a "fat jacket" that simulates what it feels like when your body carries 20 extra pounds. It not only motivates, it offers interactive, hands-on education that can be easily understood by everyone, encouraging lifestyle change. While CIGNA's Mobile Learning Lab stops at communities across the United States to educate people about their health, it also stops at CIGNA offices to educate employees.
