MONITOR AND REDUCE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE

THE BLOOD PRESSURE SELF MONITORING PROGRAM WILL RETURN IN THE FALL

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. To sign up for the Blood Pressure Self Monitoring Program please attend one of our free kick-off events.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM | In this life-changing 4-month program, you will meet with a trained YMCA staff member bi-weekly, receive weekly email or phone call checkups, and meet as a group once a month for Nutrition Seminars. These meetings and seminars will work to assure that you are tracking, logging, and recording your blood pressure correctly and help you to learn how modifying your nutrition and physical activity can significantly reduce your blood pressure.

Our Heart Healthy Nutrition Seminars are part of our Blood Pressure Self Monitoring and Diabetes Prevention programs. Just like our kick-off event, you will learn about ways to manage your high blood pressure through diet and exercise. Participants must register to receive their free heart-healthy meal (at kick-off events only). You may attend one seminar for free before enrolling in our program.
