22 years less

Police officer life expectancy is almost 22 years less than the lives of the civilians they serve and protect.

Our Program

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 help 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.

Life Saving Services

Over the last 18 months, Sigma has shown massive potential in eliminating the catastrophic effects of cardiovascular disease amongst all first responders.

On-Site Specialists

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.

Our Method

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.

Sigma understands the dynamic nature of health and all facets of lifestyle changes that can positively serve as the most progressive principles specifically designed to create long-term sustainable health.

The Sigma program and method has resulted in officers reporting:

Improved energy

Improved situational awareness

Improved on-duty performance

Dramatic weight reductions

Decrease in alcohol and tobacco use

Decrease in need for coffee/energy drink etc.

The Value of Cardiac Screening

The average life expectancy for an officer is almost 22 years less than the civilians whom they serve and protect. Moreover, 70% of all premature officer fatalities can be attributed to cardiac events, which if diagnosed properly, are almost completely avoidable. Our program was not designed solely for senior officers, but for anyone who desires assurance that they will not wind up a victim of cardiovascular disease.
