Free Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring Program

The Gateway Family YMCA is now offering a FREE Virtual session of the YMCA’s Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring Program, open to the community. The Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring program is designed to help participants with hypertension lower their blood pressure by following an evidence-based program that combines blood pressure self-monitoring, nutrition education seminars and personalized support.

“At this time of self-isolation, The Gateway Family YMCA is proud to provide a free virtual community version of the YMCA’s Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring program,” said Krystal R. Canady, CEO, The Gateway Family YMCA. “The Y is the leading community-based organization dedicated to improving the nation’s health and this program is a great example of putting that commitment into action. Through our virtual programming, we are meeting community needs, improving health and promoting virtual connection to those at home.”

The program is facilitated by Healthy Heart Ambassadors, trained by the Y, who will show participants how to use a blood pressure monitor, encourage self-monitoring and facilitate nutrition education and discussion sessions.
