Abstract
The focus of this quality improvement project was to improve the perceived health and wellbeing of Native American elders residing in low-income housing. Guidelines were established to provide health promotion activities that included screening, weekly vital signs, culturally appropriate individualized health coaching and education talk circles within a community-based wellness clinic. Data was collected prior to project implementation and again at three months post-implementation. Findings suggest that health coaching and education improve hypertension control as evidenced by mean a population improvement of 12 mm Hg. There was not a significant difference in the responses from the health survey measuring confidence scores and the perceived health of participants, in fact, there was a slight decline in mean confidence scores for some responses.
