Hoke Heart Assoc.
Offers Free Checks
For Blood Pressure
The fact that more people are
aware of the dangers of high blood
pressure and are seeking medical
advice to control it may be respon
sible for the recent decline in
deaths from stroke, heart attack,
kidney failure, and other cardio
vascular diseases, according to
Emma Mims, president of the
Hoke County Heart Association.
* "This is one of those disease
areas where public education can
have a real impact," she said.
"Everyone should know that
blood pressure must be checked
periodically, because there is no
other way to find out whether it is
too high. There are no symptoms to
tell you that trouble may be on the
way," she added.
Once a physician has diagnosed
high blood pressure, he can select
from a variety of medications to
control it. and the patient may have
to take medicine indefinitely to
keep his blood pressure within
normal range. Mims pointed out.
"However, this is a small price to
pay for avoiding a stroke, a heart
attack, or kidney failure," she said.
To promote public education on
this important health subject, Sat
urday, November 6, has been
designated as Blood Pressure
Screening Day in Hoke County by
the Hoke County Heart Associa
tion.
The Blood Pressure Screening
Clinics will be held from 10 a.m. to
noon and 2-4 p.m. at the following
locations: Edenborough Pharmacy,
Hoke County Public Library, Hill
crest Fire Station, Rockfish Fire
Station, Puppy Creek Fire Station.
North Raeford Fire Station. West
Hoke Fire Station. Stonewall Fire
Station. Antioch Fire Station, and
Tyler Town Fire Station.
The National High Blood Pres
sure Education Program and the
American and North Carolina
Heart Associations are providing
information on high blood pressure
and how people can protect them
selves against this major cause of
death and disability.
Your Hoke County Heart Asso
ciation urges all citizens of Hoke
County to come out and have your
blood pressure checked free of
charge.
