ROSE YMCA BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING
PROGRAM
The Million Hearts campaign was launched in 2012 by the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services with the goal of
preventing one million heart attacks and strokes by 2017.
As part of this effort to prevent cardiovascular disease, the Y-USA
designed a program to reduce participants’ blood pressure based on
the successful “Check It, Change It” research study. The YMCA’s
Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring Program supports adults with high
blood pressure in developing the habit of self-monitoring blood
pressure and understanding the role nutrition plays in pressure
management through personalized support.
The BPSM evidence-based program is a four-month program
designed to help adults with high blood pressure develop the habit of
routine blood p ressure monitoring.
The goals of the program are:
1) Reduce blood pressure.
2) Develop new skills for managing blood pressure.
3) Gain the ability to identify and control triggers that raise blood
pressure.
4) Increase confidence in adopting healthier eating habits.
Heart Healthy ambassadors from the YMCA will take participants’
blood pressure during face-to-face meetings and will train participants
to take their own blood pressure accurately using the American Heart
Association ABCD protocol.
In addition, the YMCA will offer a nutrition education seminar
each month.
