Call RMH Women's Health Focus at 433-4641to schedule a 45-minute private appointment with the RMH Heart Health Navigator. Appointments are available weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Your Heart Check appointment may be combined with your annual screening mammogram, with an osteoporosis screening or may be scheduled separately from these other services.



 

  You will receive an assessment tool and blood work form in the mail to complete prior to your appointment.
  At your appointment, the Heart Health Navigator will use a standardized risk assessment tool and clinical measurements to identify risk factors you may have for heart disease. Risk factors that are calculated include fasting total cholesterol and glucose levels, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure and lifestyle factors, including nutrition, sleep, stress-management and exercise habits.
  The Heart Health Navigator will then assist you in creating SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timed) Goals geared toward addressing your individual needs. To help you achieve those goals, you will be given resources, information and referrals to other services at RMH and within the community.
  Follow up is provided on an individual basis. This provides an opportunity to celebrate successes and receive suggestions on ways to move your health improvement plan forward.
