Company history
In 1988 the Lifestyle Medicine Institute (LMI), a member of Australia’s Sanitarium Health & Wellbeing family of companies, launched the Complete Health Improvement Program (CHIP). It helped organizations manage escalating costs of health care claims by improving employees’ and patients’ health.
CHIP achieved positive clinical outcomes by changing lifestyles. Participants learned how to change harmful habits into healthful ones.
In 2022, LMI launched the next generation of CHIP. The enhanced brand and solution debuted under a new name: Pivio.
Pivio gives its partners a turnkey solution for restoring health and reducing costs.
The program builds upon the strong foundation that CHIP created. It offers an expanded network of learning resources, informed by years of research. Specially trained and accredited facilitators keep participants advancing toward their health goals.
CHIP has empowered tens of thousands of participants across North America to reclaim their health.
