February is American Heart Month, a time to pay special attention to understanding, preventing and treating heart disease. The Michigan WISEWOMAN Program helps participants identify and communicate risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), stroke, diabetes, and other chronic diseases. Enrolled participants can work with health coaches to make lifestyle behavior changes that will help to prevent, delay, and control cardiovascular and other chronic diseases.
Those who are eligible for the WISEWOMAN program include women who are:
- uninsured or underinsured;
- at or below 250% of the federal poverty guidelines; and
- 35 to 64 years of age.
Eligible clients who will benefit from this program include those who are at increased risk of heart disease and need preventive health screenings as part of their wellness routine.
If you or someone you know want to see if you are eligible, please call 844-446-8727 (TTY 711) if you have questions or need help enrolling. Interpreters available.
