Self-Measured Blood Pressure Program
How We Help You
We’ve teamed up with the American Heart Association to bring validated blood pressure monitors right to your home. We’ll train you step-by-step on cuff placement, posture, and logging your readings. Whenever your numbers look off, we’ll guide you on exactly when to reach out to your health care provider.
Is This Right for You?
You can join us if you’re:
- Pregnant or within six months postpartum
- Uninsured, on Medicaid, or without a regular source of health care
- Living in Lafayette or a nearby Missouri county
If that sounds like you, we’d love to help you stay on top of your blood pressure. Call us to learn more at 660.259.2402.
Four Simple Steps
Orientation
We’ll meet you in person or online for a 15-minute demo: how to position your arm, rest before a reading, and log results.
Take It Home
You borrow a clinically validated monitor for up to 12 weeks — no cost to you. Just complete our borrower’s agreement.
Track & Share
Use our easy BP log (we’ll provide the PDF or paper copy) to record your readings and let us know if anything concerns you.
Return or Extend
Bring the monitor back when your loan period ends. If you need more time, just ask — we’ll work with you.
