Blood Pressure Clinics

The Cardiovascular Health Awareness Program (CHAP) was designed to support prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke in communities.  Older adults are invited to attend sessions in local pharmacies, churches and community centers for a cardiovascular risk assessment including blood pressure monitoring. These are led by trained non-medical staff and volunteers.  

During their session, the participants complete or review their risk profile, have their blood pressure measured using specialized BP-Tru machines (it takes pressure 6 times and creates an average that is determined through research to be highly reliable), and a review of their results and recommendations based on a the CHAP protocol.  Participants take home a copy of their results, as well as resources on modifiable risk factors as determined by peer review of their risk profile. Program results are sent to each participant’s family physician and regular pharmacist to enhance care if agreed to by the client.

For a full schedule see the updated newsletter.

CHAP is often paired with a dining programs that offer lunch meals.
