What is Check. Change. Control.?
Check. Change. Control. is a pre-packaged four-month turn-key program. Each school or division that signs up by Wednesday, December 20 will receive a blood pressure monitor, if needed, training, and ready-to-go health messages to help employees at your workplace to achieve target blood pressure results. Employees will receive access to an electronic tracking tool and you will receive aggregated progress reports for employees showing the impact of the program.
Why provide Check. Change. Control.?
30% of Plan members have high blood pressure – but even more may be undiagnosed. Undetected and poorly managed high blood pressure can significantly affect one’s ability to work and live a healthy life. This four-month program begins in February. It will identify employees who are undiagnosed and at risk for developing high blood pressure and help employees with high blood pressure achieve target blood pressure results.
