The pulse on heart health in our community
Did you know, heart disease is the leading cause of death in Berrien County? High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, can increase the risk of developing heart disease later in life.
Your partners in heart health
We prioritize hypertension management as the foundation of our health care services. Our approach extends beyond traditional medical care, offering comprehensive lifestyle programs designed to enhance your overall well-being, including emotional, mental, physical and social health.
Our dedicated team of community health workers provide home visits to assist patients in overcoming challenges related to consistent and correct medication usage. They also offer guidance to improve dietary habits, exercise routines, and stress management techniques, all crucial elements in maintaining healthy blood pressure levels.
Blood pressure management programs
H.O.P.E.
Also known as the Hypertension Obstetric Preeclampsia Evaluation program, H.O.P.E. is a self-monitored blood pressure program for pregnant women with hypertensive disorders. Our care team works with expectant mothers to monitor their blood pressure, helping to reduce complications for her and her baby, both now and in the future. Hypertension during pregnancy increases the risk of developing heart disease later in life, so we work to create lasting wellness for mothers and their babies at the start.
Inspire
Inspire is a self-monitored home blood pressure program for adults 18 years and older. Patients will work with their personalized care team to learn how to manage their blood pressure, receive education and set goals to help improve their health.
Centered: Holistic Hypertension Care
The Centered program complements the self-monitored blood pressure programs by providing comprehensive lifestyle education and support in a group setting. Participants practice food preparation skills in our teaching kitchen and explore mindfulness and stress-reduction techniques like breathwork, sound meditations, and beneficial sleep practices. We meet you where you’re at, working with you to create your health goals, while the group works together towards better health by practicing and applying the skills we’ve learned.
