Question

HHC Health Services implemented a comprehensive one-day health promotion program targeting older adults living with HIV to enhance their understanding of cardiovascular risks, with a focus on hypertension, through collaboration with the Hispanic Health Organization in Meriden, Connecticut. This initiative aimed to elevate awareness and comprehension of cardiovascular risks, particularly within the context of the demographic's unique health needs. The program featured an educational workshop providing bilingual materials to address specific cardiovascular risks. Key objectives included ensuring that at least 40% of participants could identify two personal cardiovascular risk factors and achieve a 20% increase in participants' knowledge, measured through pre- and post-tests. Encouraging quality improvement (QI) culture was central to the program, involving dedicated QI teams, regular meetings, and policies to align with QI goals. These measures were designed to not only heighten immediate awareness but also to instill a sustained commitment to cardiovascular health, ensuring ongoing benefits for participants in the long term.
