Upon registering for the program each participant receives a free blood pressure and BMI body mass index screening. If the participant is found to have a normal blood pressure reading and a normal BMI, the participant is then encouraged to participate in the program to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.
If the participant is found to have an abnormal blood pressure reading and or BMI then the participant is eligible to receive a follow-up plan. A follow-up plan consists of meeting with the City of Los Fresnos Community Health Worker, Christine De La Rosa to discuss both a nutrition and exercise plan, as well as continued health screenings.
Participants have the right to refuse follow-ups without effecting participant’s eligibility to participate in classes.
