The American Heart Association, the world’s leading nonprofit organization focused on heart and brain health for all, installed brand-new blood pressure hubs recently at several centrally-located community spots to protect people in Youngstown against the "silent killer."
Blood pressure machines were installed Dec. 18 at the Youngstown Metro Housing Authority's (YMHA) Amedia Plaza and Gutknecht Towers locations, followed by an installation at the Central YMCA on Dec. 19, adding to the list of places where people in Youngstown can access one of these potentially life-saving hubs.
"We are working to make sure everyone, everywhere knows their blood pressure numbers so that they can live a longer, healthier life," said Gabbi Roszman, community impact director for the American Heart Association in Northeast Ohio. "This is one of many ways that we are removing barriers to health equity right here in our community."
