Centers (AHEC) to offer onsite tobacco cessation programs led by certified facilitators.
These free programs educate, motivate and support your employees as they work through the

continue to receive support via online or telephonic coaching on a complimentary basis.
ONLINE OPTIONS
My Health Assistant
Personalized, engaging and highly interactive, My Health Assistant is the online tool powered by
WebMD that can be offered in addition to or instead of onsite programs to help employees quit
tobacco. It can be accessed by all Florida Blue health plan members for free through the Florida
Blue website at any time.
Brainsharks® Presentations
These multi-media presentations can be viewed online with audio capability anytime, on demand,
as long as an internet connection is available. Brainsharks® can be used as an alternative form of
communication when you are unable to provide face-to-face presentations, or as a supplemental
reinforcement of a tobacco cessation message. They can be distributed with a simple link via an
email message or your organization’s intranet, so employees can view them on their own
schedule. There is no charge for access to these presentations.
TELEPHONIC COACHING SUPPORT

personalized attention and support from a dedicated health coach as they face the challenge of
