United Healthcare’s Healthy LifeCycles Video Series Promotes Health and Wellness

As part of United Healthcare’s continual focus on empowering consumers through innovation, a series of videos called Healthy LifeCycles is available for UnitedHealthcare clients to use with their employees to help drive engagement. The 90-second videos exemplify UnitedHealthcare’s mission to help people live healthier lives by teaching them in a new and compelling way to use the information provided in each tip to manage their health and wellness.
