Pressure screenings offered High Blood Pressure affects over 57 million Americans and increases an individual’s risk of heart attack and stroke. That’s why the American Heart Asso- ciation in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Department of Health will be sponsoring free blood pressure screenings throughout the month of April at several locations in Luzerne County. “There are a number of people out there who may have high blood pressure and aren’t aware of it, and those who are aware of it may pass it off as a minor problem, but in fact, hypertension is a major risk factor that can contribute to a crippling heart attack or stroke,”” says Jim Conahan, AHA Representative. With this in mind, the AHA urges you to have your blood pressure checked regularly. Screenings are free of charge during the month of April at the following locations: Wednesday, April 6, Life Care Centers, Wyoming Ave., Forty Fort; 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.; Patient Care Pharmacy, 515-517 Market St., Kingston, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, April 29, Kingston Medicenter, 120 Wyoming Ave., Kingston, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Richard Eckert Eckert graduated Airman 1st Class Richard B.
