The blood pressure screening schedule is:

The screening is FREE and is available throughout the day! Just ask a staff member to help you out!

 

Why should you get your blood pressure checked out?

 

• High blood pressure can be one of the first indicators of future heart health issues.
• High blood pressure puts extra strain on your arteries and your heart. Over time that strain can cause arteries to become thick and less flexible.
• Thick arteries can lead to clots which can lead to a stroke, heart attack or kidney disease.

But the good news is knowledge is power! There are lots of ways to lower blood pressue and early detection is key!
