Gaja Health is a health advocacy company focused on helping you with what matters most - overcoming challenges in your home and surrounding community to improve your health and wellbeing.

We are partnering with Anthem to support you as you use your Nutrition Life Essentials Kit benefit. Our program includes access to a team of Health Advocates - trained and experienced professionals who have been where you and your family are and whose only job is supporting you.

Gaja aims to personalize your experience of our medical system by giving you access to a partner to help you navigate healthcare and your own wellbeing. Most experiences with your medical care team are often too transactional. You may have experienced being paired with someone who really doesn’t understand you, despite their best intentions. Gaja values relationship building and focuses on helping you improve your health and live a happier healthy life on your terms.

Anthem employees who are enrolled in the Anthem Nutrition Life Essentials Kit, and received our “Welcome to Gaja Health” email.

Gaja’s services are paid for by Anthem and therefore free to eligible employees as part of your Nutrition Life Essentials Kit.
