Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring
This program is designed to help participants with hypertension lower and manage their blood pressure. The 4 month program focuses on regular self-monitoring of blood pressure using proper measuring techniques, group nutrition education and one on one coaching.
Thanks to the generosity of the Mississippi Department of Health, we are able to offer this program free of charge for a limited time to those who qualify. This program is valued at up to $250. We are currently accepting enrollments.
