About the SagePlus Heart Health Screening Program
SagePlus is looking for partner clinics to implement free heart health services for underinsured and uninsured women. This work aims to improve the health among communities that experience the greatest disparities. Funding supports implementation of heart health screening and follow-up, social services needs assessments and referrals, and lifestyle change programming (e.g., exercise or nutrition classes).
If you are interested in becoming a SagePlus provider and would like to learn more, please complete this quick SagePlus for Heart Health survey and we will reach out to you in the near future.

SagePlus helps keep women in Minnesota healthy by addressing their risks for cardiovascular disease.
Program components include risk factor screenings, education on risk factors, and ongoing support for lifestyle changes. Services are provided at participating locations free of charge for women ages 35-64 who meet insurance and income eligibility guidelines.
