​Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring Program

How the program works:

​Participants will work with trained Healthy Heart Ambassadors for the duration of the four-month program.

During this time, participants will be encouraged to

• Self-measure their blood pressure at least two times per month
• Attend two personalized consultations per month
• Attend monthly nutrition education seminars

Participants will record their blood pressure readings using an easy-to-use, self-selected tracking tool.

The Y will provide options for participants who need a home blood pressure monitor.
 
Program Goals:

• Reduction in blood pressure
• Better blood pressure management
• Increased awareness of triggers that elevate blood pressure
• Enhanced knowledge to develop healthier eating habits

For a small investment, participants receive:

• An evidence-based program that may lower blood pressure
• Personalized support from a Healthy Heart Ambassador during Office Hour consultations
• Tips for maintaining cardiovascular health
• Heart healthy nutrition education
• Easy-to-use, portable self-tracking tool
