Blood Pressure Checks
Do you know your blood pressure numbers? Unless you routinely check your blood pressure, hypertension can go undetected. Thanks to funding from the Service Auxiliary, you can now check your blood pressure at a free and convenient automatic blood pressure monitor. The machine is stationed in the main lobby, across from the ATM. This service is available to all guests, employees and volunteers.
