Not So Secret Shopper
Sue Ronayne was always expecting a call from her new TrestleTree Health Coach. Connecting on a trial basis to help the University of Maine Employee Health Plan Task Force (EHPTF) sample the services of a potential partner for the Wellness Program was always a part of last summer's plan. 

What she wasn't expecting was that several months  and fifteen lost pounds later, she and her Health Coach would still be together and actively looking forward to even greater success in the future.
