Free Blood Pressure Check

Free Blood Pressure Check

Irish Heart Foundation

Come along and get your FREE Blood Pressure health check in the grounds of Athy Library on Monday 3rd December from 10am - 4pm. The Mobile Health Unit will be parked and ready for checks as part of the Healthy Ireland at your Library Initiative.

On the day there will be two nurses available on the mobile health unit to provide FREE Blood Pressure Checks and heart health information. The one-to-one advice offered by the nurse is a vital part of this check. 

Each person receives a personal record card with their results and in the event of any abnormal results is advised to follow up with their GP. High blood pressure which is a major cause of stroke and heart attack is one of the most prevalent risk factors in the population and one which once identified is manageable, thereby reducing risk. 

A blood pressure check is a simple, quick and non-invasive test that could prove life-saving.’
