Project Summary: Community of Hope will offer the Healthy Lifestyle Program, an eight-week group health education initiative for patients with chronic diseases, three times in the grant period at our Marie Reed Health Center. This program will use the Full Plate Living Healthy Lifestyle Program® curriculum, and patients will increase their knowledge of how good nutrition, physical activity, and mindfulness can improve health outcomes. Additionally, patients will utilize the Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound (SMART) model to set goals that incorporate healthy nutrition practices, physical activity, and mindfulness strategies into their weekly routine. By the end of eight weeks, patients will achieve at least one of their goals. By the end of the program, patients will also have increased self-efficacy and improved health outcomes related to chronic disease management and emotional wellness, such as blood pressure control and sleep quality.
