BLOOD PRESSURE CLINIC
Get Your Blood Pressure Checked Former Registered nurses with recent Public Health experience provide a special service by taking and recording readings. We recommend you participate and review the following prior to arriving.
• Don’t drink coffee or smoke cigarettes 30 minutes before having your blood pressure measured
• Before the test, sit for five minutes with your back supported and your feet flat on the ground. Rest your arm on a table at the level of your heart.

ADVANCE CARE PLANNING: BECAUSE WE ALL DIE
An accident today, a stroke tomorrow, could leave anyone incapable. Who will speak for you then? Do they know your wishes? Do you? Advance Care Planning is the process of reflecting upon, then informing others of your wishes regarding accepting or foregoing specific medical interventions should you become incapable. To be legally empowering it must be done while you are capable. This course provides information only, not legal advice.
