Health Screenings
Provided by the North Penn Visiting Nurse Association
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.
