A Resource About High Blood Pressure


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     May is a pretty active month in health affairs, with no fewer than 34
National Health Observances scheduled in 1992.  They run the spectrum from
Asthma and Allergy Month, Older Americans Month, World Red Cross Day,
Community Safe Kids Week, National Nurses Week, Buckle Up America Week to
World No Tobacco Day (May 31).  I wish I could highlight all of them here, but
certainly none are more essential to American Health than National High Blood
Pressure Month.  The National High Blood Pressure Education Program sponsors
this celebration, and wants to highlight information both on high blood
pressure and stroke prevention.  To this end they have made a Fact Sheet on
each of these subjects available to you, single copies without charge, that
you may obtain by sending a stamped self-addressed, business size envelope to
"Fact Sheets" National High Blood Pressure Education Program, P.O. Box 30105,
Bethesda, MD 20284-0105.  Ask for both the "High Blood Pressure" and "Stroke
Prevention" fact sheet by name.
