MONTEREY, Calif. —Free blood pressure checks and a talk about how to
prevent or control high blood pressure are being offered during an event
sponsored by Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula. One in three adults
has high blood pressure — and 20 percent don’t even know it.
Richard Gray, MD, and Mike
Barber, RN, of Community Hospital’s Tyler Heart Institute, will talk about
lifestyle changes, medications, and other measures that can help prevent
hypertension and its life-threatening complications. The event is from
5:30-6:30 p.m. Thursday, July 26 at Peninsula Wellness Center, 2920 2nd
Avenue, Marina. Tours of the wellness center will also be offered.
