The scariest thing about hypertension or high blood pressure is you may have it and not even realize it. High blood pressure produces few warning signs and symptoms. Fortunately, Baptist has a center devoted exclusively to helping you fight this killer. Located in suite 210 of the Baptist Medical Tower, the Hypertension Center provides a variety of services to people who have had high blood pressure for several years and those who are recently diagnosed. Patients can either be referred by a physician or referred by themselves. Once patients enter the Hypertension Center, they receive specialized education about medication and lifestyle changes that can help control blood pressure. Encouraging people to stay on track with their treatment program is a major focus. In addition, the Hypertension Center provides free blood pressure checks and teaches patients how to take their own blood pressure. Although medications help control blood pressure levels, the Hypertension Center recommends exercise and a healthy diet. The Hypertension Center is open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Located in the Baptist Medical Tower, Suite 210.
