Chronic Disease Control
This section includes blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, vision screening, and hearing screening. Each of these screening programs are performed so that potential or existing problems can be identified and corrected before major problems develop. Individualized counseling is provided and appropriate referrals are made. Hypertension screening services are provided at industries, senior centers, banks, and other public sites. Pamphlets are available for Hypertension Patients at the Health Department every day. May is National High Blood Pressure Education Month.
Activities include: promoting healthier life styles to reduce risk of strokes and reaching people at highest risk for high blood pressure, reminding hypertensives to comply with their prescribed therapy, and encouraging them to make needed adjustments in their lives so as to promote healthier lifestyles all year. People who have hypertension should have their blood pressure checked regularly.
The Health Department holds blood pressure screenings during regular business
hours 8am - 5 pm at the office and regularly at various locations throughout the county.
We regularly have free screenings for high blood pressure. If you have a group that would like to schedule a screening or to find out when the next scheduled one is, just give us a call.
