HMC Hosts Blood Pressure Screening at Clinton Book Shop

As part of their Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies lecture series, Hunterdon Medical Center and the Clinton Book Shop will host a blood pressure

screening. This screening will be held on Thursday, May 20th from

6:30-7:30 p.m. at the Clinton Book Shop located in their new location on 12 East Main Street in Clinton.

May is blood pressure education month. High blood pressure that is uncontrolled can injure or kill you. It's sometimes called "the silent killer" because high blood pressure has no symptoms, so many people are not aware that it's damaging their arteries, heart and other organs. Did you know that 69% of Americans who have their first heart attack have blood pressure over 140/90? Come to this screening and learn what your numbers are and your risk of having a heart attack or other diseases. Nicole Camporeale, BSN, Heart and Vascular Coordinator at Hunterdon Medical Center will conduct the screening.

This screening is free of charge. All participants will receive a guest pass to be used at the Hunterdon Health and Wellness Centers in Clinton or Whitehouse Station. To register call the Clinton Book Shop at 908-735-8811.

Time for Lyme Disease

In 1975, Lyme disease originated in Lyme, Connecticut when large numbers of children were being diagnosed with what appeared to be juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers traced the children's signs and symptoms not to arthritis, but to a bacterial infection transmitted by deer ticks. The infection was then named Lyme disease.

Lyme disease has spread across the United States but the disease remains heavily concentrated in the northeast as well as the upper Midwest and northern California. Hunterdon Healthcare Partners and Hunterdon Medical Center will host a program entitled Time for Lyme Disease on Tuesday, April 20th in the Auditorium at Hunterdon Medical Center.

Registration and a snack will be held from 6:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. and the program will run from 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.

Kathleen Horn, RN, CIC, Director of Infection Control Services at Hunterdon Medical Center will provide an informative presentation on Lyme disease.

Learn the facts about Lyme disease and how to prevent it.

This program will help attendees identify the signs and symptoms of the disease.

To register for this program call Maura Cocino at 908-806-8222 ext. 2 by April 19th.
