About the National Health Coach Network
A national infrastructure for outcomes-driven health coaching.
The National Health Coach Network (NHCN) exists to elevate, unify, and empower the health coaching profession. We are building the country's first coordinated, credentialed, and clinically aligned network of health coaches — a workforce designed for real outcomes, real reimbursement, and real impact.
Health coaching has proven its value for years. What's been missing is the infrastructure: a trusted national registry, a standardized credentialing pathway, and a connected ecosystem that links coaches, practices, and clients. NHCN is that system.
Our Mission
To strengthen the nation's health by connecting people with credentialed, outcomes-driven health coaches — and by giving coaches the tools, structure, and support they need to thrive in clinical and community settings.
Our Vision
A future where every American has access to a qualified health coach — and where health coaches are recognized, respected, and reimbursed as essential members of the care team.
Why We Exist
The U.S. healthcare system is shifting toward prevention, behavior change, and long-term wellness. Health coaches are uniquely positioned to lead that shift — but the profession has lacked:
- A unified national identity
- A consistent standard of excellence
- A pathway to reimbursement
- A connected network that practices can trust
- Technology that supports documentation and outcomes tracking
NHCN solves these gaps by creating a national workforce that is credentialed, connected, and built for reimbursement.

The Three Pillars of NHCN
The National Health Coach Network is built on three interconnected pillars that work together to elevate the profession, support practices, and create a seamless pathway for outcomes-based health coaching across the country.
The Health Coach Network
A national registry of credentialed, verified, and outcomes-driven health coaches. This network establishes a unified professional identity, sets standards of excellence, and provides coaches with access to opportunities across clinical and community settings.
The Health Coach Practice Advisors
A specialized group of experts who support clinics, practices, and organizations in integrating health coaching into their care models. Practice Advisors help with workflow design, documentation standards, reimbursement alignment, and operational readiness.
The Health Coach Link
A technology platform that connects coaches, practices, and clients through secure communication, documentation, scheduling, and outcomes tracking. It provides the data infrastructure needed for scalable, accountable coaching.
Our Leadership
The National Health Coach Network was founded by leaders in healthcare, technology, and preventive health who believe the profession deserves national infrastructure, not just another platform. Our team brings decades of experience in clinical operations, technology architecture, and outcomes-based coaching.
We are building the backbone of a profession — and a healthier future for the country.
