The Big Squeeze, a monthlong project to encourage area residents to check their blood pressure, kicks off with a press conference at 11:15 a.m. on Tuesday, May 1, 2012, at Fire Station No. 3, 2820 South Minnesota Avenue (37th Street and Minnesota Avenue).
“High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is a serious health concern,” says
Dr. Paul Amundson, Chief Medical Officer for DAKOTACARE. “It is often called ‘the
silent killer’ because high blood pressure often comes with no symptoms. In fact, an
estimated 22 million people in our country have high blood pressure and are not being
treated for it, which means people of all ages need to know their numbers.”
