Health and Wellness Tips

Hypertension is defined as a blood pressure of greater than or equal to 140/90mmHg. Treatment of uncontrolled hypertension reduces the risk of mortality and of cardiac, vascular, renal, and cerebrovascular complications. Checking your blood pressure and making sure it is within a normal range is a great way to prevent disease and stay healthy in the New Year. We invite everyone to check their blood pressure with our automatic machine located in the health and wellness center. If your reading is 140/90 or greater, we recommend a visit to your primary care provider.  For more information contact Deborah Badro, CRNP, our Resident Nurse Practitioner.
