Healthy Lifestyle Center Aruba

The Healthy Lifestyle Center provides a space enabling all the relevant professionals to collaborate, improve, and provide intervention programs aimed at preventing Non-Communicable Diseases (cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes, and chronic respiratory diseases). The general aim is to improve the general wellbeing of the Aruban community.

The Healthy Lifestyle Center provides a holistic service to each participant who walks in. The participant is welcomed by a receptionist who shall register the participant and motivate the participant to have their biometrics taken a-la-minute or schedule an appointment for a more convenient time. The receptionist is trained to guide the participant further with information, pamphlets, IBISA physical activities calendar, etc.

Biometrics are taken for each participant by a trained assistant, nurse, or EPI student. The results are consecutively evaluated by an in-house General Physician to assess if referral to evaluate blood works via a laboratory is required. Following the General Physician’s intake and biometrics evaluation, the participant is referred to the in-house lifestyle coach and dietitian for a consultation, where it is assessed together with the participant if a tailored healthy lifestyle program is required or if a 3-month program in a group setting is an adequate solution.
