DID YOU KNOW?

1 in 3 American Adults have high blood pressure.

The YMCA of Long Island is proud to offer Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring Program at our Huntington YMCA and Patchogue Family YMCA. 

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS

Participants will work with trained Healthy Heart Ambassadors for the duration of the four-month program. During this time participants will be encouraged to:

  • Self-measure their blood pressure at least two times per month
  • Attend two personalized consultations per month
  • Attend monthly nutrition education seminars

Participants will record their blood pressure readings using an easy-to-use, self-selected tracking tool. The Y will provide options for participants who need a home blood pressure monitor.

This program is available only in Huntington YMCA and Patchogue Family YMCA.
