Did you know that 1 in 3 adults have high blood pressure? Many of those cases can be prevented. High blood pressure is often called a "silent killer" because, although you may feel no symptoms, you could have it. High blood pressure leads to a higher risk of heart disease and stroke. The only way to know for sure that your blood pressure is within normal limits is to get it checked regularly. The staff RN at Thompson Pharmacy provides free blood pressure screenings at our Juniata location the first Thursday of every month from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm. We also carry several home monitoring devices for the convenience of checking your blood pressure at home.

Below we have provided links with information to help you prevent or treat high blood pressure.
