Compassionate Care Network's newest program, “Health Coaches” was developed to provide free cardiovascular health education, nutrition education, and exercise education to overweight and obese individuals at risk for stroke and heart attack, especially among those who lack health insurance.

CCN Health Coaches are free resources in their respective communities. They provide individualized support for each participant and provide the in-person support necessary to foster each participant's long-term commitment to their health.

How it works:

Program participants must commit to meeting with Health Coaches weekly for one year to receive nutrition coaching and monitor a walking program to increase participants’ heart health.

All participants will be required to wear a pedometer to measure their distance walked each day. Daily pedometer readings must be recorded in a walking diary.

Each Patient’s blood pressure, BMI, glucose, and cholesterol will be measured and tracked throughout the program to monitor overall health.
