Thornburg's launch free blood pressure screenings
Free blood pressure screenings will be available on a regularly scheduled basis at all Thornburgs Walgreen Agency Drug Stares beginning this week. Screenings will be held at the South Bend store in the North Village Mall on Tuesday, Jan. 10, Wednesday, Jan. 11 and Thursday, Jan. 12. The schedule at the other Thornburgs stores will be: Warsaw and Columbia City - Wednesday, Jan. 11; Nappanee and North Webster - Thursday, Jan. 12; and Syracuse - Friday, Jan. 13. The times for all the screenings will be 4 to 8 p.m. Screenings will continue the second and fourth Wednesday of the month at the South Bend and Warsaw stores; the second Wednesday of the month at Columbia City; the second Thursday at Nappanee and North Webster and the second Friday at Syracuse. The screening is the second project in Thornburgs’ A.I.D.E. (Active Involvement in Detection and Education) program, a series of planned service projects designed to make people aware of health care needs. The program began in October with a free diabetes screening at all stores. Blood pressure screening was selected as the second active detection project because more than half of the 24 million people who are believed to have hypertension (high blood pressure) are unaware they have the condition. Left untreated, hypertension can lead to heart failure, stroke and kidney failure. The screening takes only a few minutes, is completely painless and the results are obtained immediately. People whose readings are borderline or slightly elevated will be asked to return for a re-screening. If both readings are elevated, or if the initial measurement shows a significantly high blood pressure, the person will be advised to see his physician for further evaluation. In conjunction with the screenings, Thornburgs is sponsoring a hypertension information panel at the North Village Mall. Personnel knowledgable in the care of hypertension will be available to answer questions regarding the disease. The panel will run from 4 to 8 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 10 through Thursday, Jan. 12, in the Mall area. How Do I Know If I’m A Hypertensive? Anyone who suffers from high blood pressure (hypertension) is a hypertensive. And medical studies have revealed that more than 24 million people, or about one in seven, are afflicted. Recent medical surveys indicate that more than 50 per cent of those who have hypertension don’t realize it and of those who know they have high blood pressure, half are not receiving adequate treatment. Hypertension is called the silent killer because it usually produces no symptoms in its early stages that require medical attention. Only after years of undetected stress on the heart and

arteries do major complications such as heart attack, stroke or kidney failure result. When warning signals do crop up they may include bothersome headaches, characteristically in the back of the head and upper neck. Ironically, the headaches strike most acutely when blood pressure is relatively low, as in the early morning. Some hypertensives experience dizziness, shortness of breath, flushing of the face, fatigue or insomnia. Generally, however, high blood pressure creates symptoms only after the
Home Health Care Services has expanded roll in county
The role of the Home Health Care Services of Kosciusko County, Inc. has expanded along with the changing concepts of health care delivery. With the current trend toward bringing more and better services into the community where the consumers are, the Home Health Care Services nurse provides the means by which these services are delivered directly to those who need them. Through various settings in which she works, the Home Health Care Services nurse sees first hand a family’s difficulties and strengths, and carefully assesses physicial, psychological, economic and environmental factors. In coordination with other health professionals and community groups who provide specialized and back-up care, she develops a system of total patient care management. In her role as coordinator, the Home Health Care Services nurse works with physicians, social workers, physical therapist, speech pathologist, and other professionals to develop a plan of patient care. Her direct contact with family and community problems makes her aware of community health needs, and she consults with local planning groups on how to help meet those needs. One of the main emphases of the Home Health Care Agency is the prevention of disease and health promotion. Because of this concern, Home Health Care Services is participating in the AIDE, the detection and education program sponsored by Thornburg Drug Company and will assist in the blood pressure testing program. The need for blood pressure testing cannot be overstated. High blood pressure often gives no warning and the key to good

disease has affected some organ, such as the kidneys or heart and that may take years. To find out if you are a hypertensive, it’s best to let your doctor do the detective work and have your blood pressure checked on a regular basis, particularly if you experience any of the warning signals or in the higher risk group. This group includes those over 40 years of age, women, Blacks, people who are overweight and smokers. There is no cure for high blood pressure, but early detection can aid in its control.
health is prevention. Everyone who has not had his blood pressure checked recently is urged to attend one of the Thornburg Drug Store sites listed and have a free blood pressure check. It takes so little time to protect against a potential killer. Jeffrey Smallwood in Western Pacific /Navy aviation antisubmarine warfare operator airman Jeffrey L.
