According to the American Heart Association, 1 in every 6 Americans can
be classified as hypertensive and run a very real risk of developing such
problems as heart disease, kidney disease and stroke. Yet, high blood
pressure is referred to as the "silent killer" because it rarely produces
warning symptoms. Many individuals have high blood pressure and don't know
it.
A variety of literature concerning high blood pressure detection will
also be provided at these clinics, and the Department nurses will be
available to answer questions on blood pressure. For more information call
the Health Department at (309) 852-0197 (Henry) or 852-3115 (Stark).
