Not long ago many people thought that hypertension was just a normal part of aging. Since then, physicians have learned that high blood pressure can be controlled and prevented, and strokes and heart failure prevented.
Now, part of the problem is that many people who have hypertension or pre-hypertension don't even know they have it, and because many times there are no symptoms it is crucial for every adult to have their blood pressure checked regularly.
By getting Central Floridians to take a moment to roll up their sleeve and check their numbers Project Pressure is already making a difference in the lives of thousands of Central Floridians. We’d like to thank our partners for helping to make the education and free screening events possible. |
