Health Promotion Keep On Track Volunteer Needed: Blood Pressure Monitoring Program

Program volunteers are trained to:
1) Take blood pressure measurements using automatic monitors, 2) Explain what the numbers mean to participants, 3) Determine when a person should be advised to see their doctor. Months can elapse between doctor’s appointments and the blood pressure checks that are part of the visit. The monthly Keep On Track sessions offer the peace of mind that comes from knowing your blood pressure is under control. In addition, the Keep On Track volunteers have frequently alerted people to changes in their blood pressure status. Keep On Track provides a personal log that participants can use to record their readings. This history can be presented to doctors for their review.
