From Awareness to Action: Combating Hypertension and Diabetes in Rural Communities
In the rural communities we serve, there is an urgent need to prevent, detect, and manage hypertension and diabetes. Preventing hypertension (high blood pressure) begins with adopting healthy lifestyle habits.
At Mansa Memorial Hospital, we are actively responding to the urgent need for chronic disease prevention through a series of targeted outreach initiatives.
These events are designed to meet people where they are, literally and figuratively, by raising awareness about the risks of hypertension and diabetes, offering free or low-cost screenings, and connecting individuals with ongoing care and support services.
