Every PAD screening program tests the patients who walk through the door. COPP brings the patients to the door in the first place — through eight trusted community groups.
COPP is a nationwide program that connects physician practices to the people who need PAD screening but rarely make it into a doctor's office in time. We do that by working through eight trusted community groups.
Each group is a trusted way to reach the people who need PAD screening but rarely get it — the patients most at risk who never walk into a doctor's office in time.
Pastors, priests, imams, and rabbis. The trusted voice for millions of people who otherwise wouldn't get screened.
The four first responder groups Herman comes from. High heart-disease risk. Strong mutual trust because Herman walked the walk.
Long-established community groups with strong connections to older adults at higher risk for PAD.
Companies that pay their own health-insurance costs. They want to keep their employees healthy and want screenings done at work.
Teachers, staff, custodians, and security personnel. PAD risk runs high in this group, and when they're healthy, students benefit too.
The most important group. Medicare-eligible seniors are exactly who Pulse4Pulse tests — and where catching PAD early makes the biggest difference.
Residents in skilled nursing, memory care, and independent living communities — nearly all Medicare-eligible, almost all at elevated PAD risk, and rarely getting screened on-site today.
Veterans who served our country and now face elevated cardiovascular risk. Reached through trusted veteran service organizations they already belong to.
Anyone can buy testing equipment. Anyone can hire someone to do the billing. What nobody else has is the way we bring patients to the practice in the first place.
COPP isn't a concept. It's running today with anchor partners across the state — serving the community and the first responders who protect it.
Most of my practice is the Jersey City community I grew up serving. The challenge has never been who to test — it's been getting people in the door before something serious happens. COPP changed that. Herman and his team work through the faith leaders, the senior centers, the first responders. By the time those patients reach my office, they trust us, and we catch things ten years earlier than we would have otherwise.
We're running the Pulse4Pulse three-test protocol with the first responder community here in New Jersey — firefighters, police, EMS. These are people whose jobs make them high-risk for cardiovascular disease, and most of them don't get screened until something goes wrong. Working with Herman through COPP, we built a program that meets them where they are. The testing is non-invasive, takes fifteen minutes, and the reports come back same-day. That's how preventive care should work.
