The Heart Health Plus Program was created with the purpose of reducing health inequity in areas with a disproportionate burden of heart disease and related risk factors. Fifteen county health departments (CHD) have implemented Heart Health Plus activities, including blood pressure self-monitoring (BPSM) programs, within their communities. In addition, CHD staff work with community partners to provide screening and outreach within priority populations. They collaborate with health systems to establish policies and systems that encourage the use of BPSM. They also work to increase referrals to additional self-management and healthy behavior support services, such as Diabetes Prevention Programs (DPP), Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES), and Quit Your Way services of Tobacco Free Florida.
Counties participating in the Heart Health Plus Program include:
- Calhoun County
- Citrus County

- Gulf County
- Hendry County
- Jackson County
