  Health Screenings...

    Blood Pressure Screening – FREE
     High blood pressure often goes undetected until a health crisis
     occurs. Unrecognized and untreated, high blood pressure can
     lead to stroke, heart attack or kidney failure. Once detected,
     high blood pressure can be controlled with diet, exercise and/or
     medication. Keep a check on your blood pressure to help reduce
     your health risks.
