A Proactive Approach to Health and Wellbeing
Welcome to the Rural Health Initiative, a pioneering program designed to significantly improve the health and quality of life for individuals in rural communities. Our unique approach focuses on prevention and early detection, encouraging participants to take control of their health before issues become symptomatic.
Comprehensive Health Assessments:
Participants in our program will have the invaluable opportunity to meet one-on-one with a Registered Nurse for a thorough physical and mental health assessment. This hour-long session includes a detailed examination of:
-
- Blood Pressure
- Hemoglobin A1C (Blood Sugar)
- HDL Cholesterol
- LDL Cholesterol
- Total Cholesterol Ratio
- Triglyceride Levels
- Oxygen Saturation
- Visceral Fat
- Bone Density
- Basal Metabolic Rate
- Metabolic Age
- Muscle Mass
- Body Water
- Eye Sight
- Mental Health Assessment
- And More…
Each measurement is carefully explained, ensuring participants understand their significance and how they can impact overall health. Our nurses are dedicated to helping individuals develop a personalized Action Plan based on their assessment results, equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and resources to manage their health effectively.
Empowerment Through
Education:
Our initiative is more than just an assessment; it’s an educational journey. By understanding their health on a deeper level, participants can make informed decisions and implement lifestyle changes that have a profound impact on their wellbeing. For some, this may include follow-up with their family physician for further action.
Long-Term Commitment and Follow-Up:
We are committed to the communities we serve, returning annually for at least three years to provide follow-up assessments. This allows participants to track their progress, witnessing firsthand the benefits of positive lifestyle changes or recognizing areas needing improvement.
