Minsk Cardiovascular Wellness Center
What We Do › Cardiovascular Health › Minsk Cardiovascular Wellness Center
With funding from USAID and programmatic support from AIHA, the New Jersey-based Robert Wood Johnson Health Network joined forces with the Ministry of Health of Belarus, the Minsk City Health Administration, and Minsk Polyclinic No. 36 in the city’s Shabany District to improve cardiovascular health in the Belorussian capital of Minsk.
Through the Minsk/New Brunswick partnership, Polyclinic staff received specialized training on cardiovascular screening, early detection, practice management, education methodologies, case management, and program evaluation. The partners developed clinical guidelines and educational tools, as well as case management protocols. Their efforts culminated in the opening of the Cardiovascular Wellness Center in October 2000, which offers integrated cardiovascular disease screening and early detection, education, and counseling services to more than 27,000 people. It is the first facility of its kind in Belarus.
