Police officer life expectancy is almost 25 years less than the lives of the civilians they serve and protect.
The long-term goal of Sigma Tactical Wellness does not involve just a one-time visit, but rather focuses on identifying high risk individuals, successfully managing known cardiac illness, and preventing early onset heart disease in younger officer populations. This continually-engaging processes can not only avert the disastrous and often expensive consequences of heart attack and stroke, it can serve to completely eradicate heart disease within any department or agency. Sigma is here and ready to work with you to ensure the immediate and long-term health of your officers.
Over the last 18 months, Sigma has shown massive potential in eliminating the catastrophic effects of cardiovascular disease amongst all first responders.
Sigma brings the program to you by deploying within your department to increase convenience for your personnel and to eliminate the time they spend driving to/from medical facilities.
Sigma Tactical Wellness has pioneered a novel system of cardiometabolic screening which incorporates advanced cardiovascular biomarker detection, cardiac imaging, and cardiopulmonary exercise testing to identify coronary disease before it takes a toll on an officer’s life.
Sigma has been nationally recognized for developing and integrating complete programs for wellness initiatives within law enforcement and first responders.
Sigma has developed a comprehensive cardiac laboratory screening evaluation along with an individualized nutritional and exercise prescription. The screening consists of non-invasive imaging as well as advanced lipid panel, and inflammatory biomarker analysis which can be used to predict the likelihood of a heart attack.
