Motivation, Accountability and Determination
At the YMCA, we know that not every person is motivated by the same things. Having a supportive group of like-minded friends helps you achieve goals you never thought possible. And you can find them here! Our health initiatives programs and workshops are held throughout the year. They focus on different areas of health needs, multiple types of workouts, and nutrition. You’re not in this alone! Find your motivation at the Y!
Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring Program
The Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring Program (BPSM) supports adults with hypertension in lowering and managing their blood pressure. BPSM is an investment in your health and a commitment to reducing your risk for heart attack or stroke through reduction in blood pressure, increased awareness of triggers that elevate blood pressure levels, and strategies for developing healthier eating habits and controlling blood pressure through diet.
Participants:
- Measure and record their blood pressure at least two times per month
- Attend monthly Nutrition Education Seminars
- Receive assistance from a trained Healthy Heart Ambassador (HHA)
- Attend two personalized consultations per month with their HHA.
