Saint Joseph�s Medical Center offers free screening for high blood pressure every Friday from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at its Urgent and Specialty Care Center at 75 South Broadway in Yonkers. High blood pressure, known medically as hypertension, can cause strokes, and is associated with diabetes, kidney disease and heart disease. Because the hypertension has virtually no symptoms, it is called the silent killer. Hypertension can be treated, sometimes with diet and exercise, but medication is sometimes necessary. There is no need to register for the free screening. For more information, please contact Saint Joseph�s Urgent and Specialty Care Center at (914) 376-7767. |
