After this class, participants will be able to provide community support for the management of high blood pressure. The class will also overview protocols for blood pressure screening and referral, and how public health and providers can collaborate to improve blood pressure management. It is not a basic skills class but rather a train-the-trainer session. The session runs from 10 am to 2:30 pm Aug. 18 at the Good Samaritan Hospital Health & Wellness Center, 3551 Highland Ave., Downers Grove, IL 60515.

Participants must bring their own blood pressure cuff and stethoscope. Register at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/blood-pressure-management-starts-with-accurate-measurement-registration-17801037382

Time will be allowed for attendees to break for lunch on their own. Sponsored by the Illinois Department of Public Health.
