YMCA
Blood Pressure Self Monitoring Program
Did you now that 80 million adults across our country are dealing with high pressure? Did you know that less than half of that number are able to keep their blood pressure under control, despite having access to quality health care and medication?
To combat the growing number of people suffering from high blood pressure the Parkview Warsaw YMCA has created the Blood Pressure Self Monitoring Program. During this 4 month program participants will be partnered with a trained healthy heart ambassador for personal, bi-weekly consultations on taking their own blood pressure and will meet monthly as a group to learn how modifying their nutrition and physical activity can significantly reduce their blood pressure. Each participant will be able to track their progress and celebrate their improvement.
This 4-month program helps participants manage and monitor their blood pressure with the help of a Healthy Heart Ambassador.
HOW IT WORKS
Once you are enrolled in the program a Heart-Healthy Ambassador will contact you. They will schedule two consultations a month you, give you weekly phone calls or emails to check up on you and give you the schedule of Nutrition Seminars. Part of this program requires that you attend one Nutrition Seminar a month and this sessions seminars focus on Hearth Health!
