Join us at the Glasgow Senior Center from 11am - 12pm for FREE Blood Pressure Screening!

+ High blood pressure is the number one cause of stroke. In fact, people with high blood pressure have a 50 percent higher risk for STROKE than those with normal blood pressure.

+ Having high blood pressure also puts you at risk for heart disease, kidney disease, disability and even death.

+ According to the CDC, someone dies of congestive heart failure every 36 seconds and has a stroke every 3 minutes. However, many people may not even realize that they’re at risk.

+ High blood pressure is called the silent killer because it does not cause obvious symptoms. To make sure your blood pressure is in the healthy range, have it checked regularly.

+ FMDH EMS offers FREE monthly community blood pressure screenings to help check your blood pressure.
