Nearly 73 million Americans have high blood pressure, and nearly 1/3 don't know it. Orlando Heart Specialists is proud to be an active participant in Project Pressure, working to raise awareness and improve the health of the Orlando area residents.
Statistics show that 90% of us will have High Blood Pressure in our lifetime. OHS, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, and dozens of community and business leaders announced a first of its kind health initiative to promote healthier outcomes for Central Floridians and issue a challenge for at least 1 million area residents to get their blood pressure checked through - - Project Pressure.
As one of the most extensive community programs of its kind – involving cities, counties, corporations and the medical community – Project Pressure aims to increase Blood Pressure Awareness and Blood Pressure Health Compliance through a sustained and motivating multi-county educational campaign.
It is the largest, most comprehensive health program ever implemented by Get Healthy Florida. Already dozens of participants have joined in an effort to engage the entire community in Project Pressure, including more than fifty fire stations and over a hundred physicians who will be screening residents for blood pressure.
