Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring Program

Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring Program

The program is designed to support participants in realizing these benefits:
• Reduction in blood pressure

• Increased awareness of triggers that elevate blood pressure

Through this four-month program and with the support from our Healthy Living Staff, participants will aim to:
• Measure and record their blood pressure at home at least two times per month, gaining increased awareness of triggers that elevate blood pressure
• Attend two personalized consultations per month with a Healthy Heart Ambassador at the Y
• Attend monthly Nutrition Education Seminars

Benefits
• Joining the Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring program is an investment in health and a commitment to reducing risk for heart attack or stroke.
• Participants develop the habit of self-monitoring to lower or better manage blood pressure.
• Investment of personal health to reduce risk of heart disease.

Our monthly nutrition seminars highlight how food is related to blood pressure management and will provide the knowledge and skills to make heart-healthy choices. Topics covered include reducing sodium intake and heart-healthy eating.

Each 45-minute seminar will offer an opportunity for participants to take his/her/their own blood pressure with coaching on proper technique from a Healthy Heart Ambassador.

Members can attend these seminars for FREE and do not have to register for the 4 month program; although, we strongly recommend educating and empowering individuals about their heart health. Nonmember cost is $5.
