VON’s Wellness for Seniors initiative introduces Cardiovascular Health Awareness Program (CHAP). It is a community-based program that brings together local family physicians, pharmacies, allied health professionals, public health representatives, volunteers, and community organizations to work as partners to promote and actively participate in the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease and stroke.
The goal of CHAP is to implement a peer health educator program of cardiovascular health awareness, including blood pressure monitoring in communities across Ontario and elsewhere.
CHAP is made available free of charge to older adults in the community. It offers opportunities for enhanced multiple blood pressure monitoring and other health promotion, prevention and management activities addressing modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease and stroke.
