Get Cuffed Home Monitoring Program

Taking Control of your High Blood Pressure

Did you know high blood pressure is the silent killer and every 39 seconds an adult dies of a heart attack, stroke or other cardiovascular disease? Nationally, nearly 60 million Americans are at risk for hypertension. This is largely driven by lifestyle factors such as being overweight, physical inactivity diet and smoking. If you have a reading greater than 120 over 80 you could be at risk for developing high blood pressure.

Please contact us for a free individual or group educational blood pressure session. Participants will receive:

• An automatic blood pressure machine for up to 90 days
• Instruction in home blood pressure monitoring
• Blood pressure medication education
• Lifestyle change coaching

Our goal is to help patients prevent the serious health threats related to high blood pressure by providing them with the tools and education to control it.
