Almost half of Americans have high blood pressure putting them at increased risk for heart disease, stroke and other health problems. 

In partnership with the Wenatchee YMCA, and with support from the Washington State Department of Health, Action Health Partners is offering the Healthy Heart Ambassador-Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring Program. 

The 4-month program offers guidance from a trained Healthy Heart Ambassador. Participants will measure and document their blood pressure, attend two individualized meetings every month and one monthly nutrition education seminar to establish new and heart-healthy goals. 

During the 4-month session, the participant will:

• Learn proper techniques to get accurate blood pressure readings
• Develop the practice of self-monitoring to lower or better manage blood pressure
• Receive weekly supportive communications
• Identify healthier eating habits and other lifestyle changes to improve heart health
