Additionally, nurses took 1,729 blood pressures and provided health education to individuals within their congregations.Program EvaluationFifty‐one participants participated in blood pressure self‐monitoring and lifestyle coaching with faith community nurses. There was improvement in six out of seven lifestyle areas.
