Free Blood Pressure Checks at Kiosks in Kewanee and Toulon

The Henry and Stark County Health Departments and First Choice are encouraging residents to “Know Your Numbers” with free automated blood pressure monitors now available in the Kewanee and Toulon clinic lobbies, funded through an American Heart Association grant. Health officials warn high blood pressure often has no symptoms, earning it the nickname “the silent killer.” Anyone can stop in during regular business hours for a quick, painless check and receive a printed copy of their results. Clinics are open Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM. Visit Kewanee at 110 North Burr Boulevard or Toulon at 120 East Court Street.
