Check your blood pressure at kiosks at Health Department Locations in Kewanee, Colona, and Toulon

The Henry & Stark County Health Departments, along with First Choice Healthcare, are highlighting National High Blood Pressure Awareness Month. Residents are invited to use the free automated blood pressure monitors available at the Kewanee and Toulon Clinics and the Colona Office, courtesy of an American Heart Association grant. Regular monitoring is crucial since high blood pressure often has no symptoms. Visitors can quickly check their blood pressure during clinic hours and receive a printed record. Additionally, a new blood pressure monitor loaner program is now available, offering various monitor sizes for home tracking.

Residents can get more details or services by contacting any of the following locations during weekday business hours. The Kewanee office, located at 110 N. Burr Blvd., can be reached at 309-852-5272. For Toulon, visit 120 E. Court St. or call 309-852-3115. The Colona branch is open at 103 1st St.; phone 309-792-4011. All locations are staffed Monday through Friday, from 8 AM to 4 PM. Drop by or call to speak directly with local representatives and access assistance or information.
