High blood pressure is a time bomb that can trigger a deadly heart attack or stroke without warning. And because the condition often has no symptoms, getting checked is the only way to know whether you have it and if it is under control.
High blood pressure is rampant in New York City. One in four adults is affected, and 20% of them don’t know it. Worse yet, fewer than half of affected New Yorkers have the condition under control – a lapse that results in thousands of heart attacks, strokes, and preventable deaths each year.
As high blood pressure affects one in three adults, it’s important to be aware of the risks and how you can reduce them. Our free confidential service only takes a few minutes. High blood pressure is a significant problem in many communities. Because of this, we offer blood pressure screening. If detected, we provide our client with free counseling and referrals to health care services.
