The BeWise Program
TriCounty health Department is partnered with the Utah Department of Health & Human Services to offer the BeWise Program. The BeWise Program checks for heart disease risk factors and partners with other programs who screen for certain types of cancer. BeWise is for women ages 40-64 who are mid-to-low-income, underinsured, or uninsured.
The goal of BeWise is to provide women with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities to improve their diet, physical activity, and other lifestyle behaviors to prevent, delay, and control cardiovascular and other chronic diseases. When you participate in the BeWise program you may also receive education, goal-setting, and referrals to community-based programs that support physical activity, healthy eating, smoking cessation, and lower your health risks.
