About project:

A doctor has told 7% of New York State (NYS) adults that they have had a heart attack, angina, and/or stroke. Coronary heart disease is the number one killer in NYS, and congestive heart failure is one of the fastest-growing subgroups of CVD. Heart disease is the leading cause of death among residents of Rockland County, NY.

In Nyack, the age-adjusted rate of death disease mortality is 275,12 per 100.000. Our goal is engagement patients in aftercare improvement of cardiovascular disease via evidence-based chronic disease self-management education (CDSME). This unique program is based on our medical team's international experiences and 4 years of community work in Rockland county. The program is focused on participants' individual needs, overcome their barriers, and engaged them in the self-management of cardiovascular diseases. It gives them a transparent and easy way how to change their nutrition, hydration, and lifestyle.
