“We are pleased to offer this free event to the Enon community after the success of previous events held in other areas of the county,” USS Executive Director Maureen Fagans said. “Heart disease is a leading cause of death in the United States and in Clark County, and this event is a great opportunity for people to learn more about their heart health and take steps to reduce their risk.”
The event will offer a variety of activities and resources, including:
- Blood-pressure checks;
- Low-sodium snacks and other nutrition resources, such as the USS meal program and Second Harvest Food Bank senior box program;
- Pharmacy staff who are available for questions;
- Educational sessions and resources from local healthcare professionals on building strong cardiovascular health, via topics including contributing factors of hypertension (such as medication compliance, sedentary lifestyle, lack of awareness of increased blood pressure and symptoms of hypertension, etc.) and stroke awareness.
Attendees are asked to RSVP by Aug. 9 by calling the USS Enon coordinator at 937-863-0043.
