ROSE YMCA BLOOD
PRESSURE MONITORING
PROGRAM
The Million Hearts campaign was launched
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.
6 724.942.0940 TO ADVERTISE | Shaler
The BPSM evidence-based program is a four-
month program designed to help adults with high
blood pressure develop the habit of routine blood
pressure 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.
For more information, email the Healthy
Living Director at the Rose Family YMCA in
Cranberry Township at [email protected].
