Blood Pressure Clinic
Our BP clinic is held the fourth Saturday of every month in the dining room from 8:30-10:00 a.m. You can enjoy a warm and wonderful breakfast, put on by Presbyterian Men, bring your recycling, and then come over next door for a BP screening. Our mobile library will be available at this time as well. Our Parish Nurses will be available to answer questions and meet with you at this time. It's so important to check your blood pressure regularly, and we'd love to help you do this each month.
Join us on Saturday, July 26 at 8:30 a.m. in the dining room.
Would you like to join this team? Maxine Hogan is the contact. We need both medical and non-medical volunteers to help with taking BP's and with registering.
