Hoops with Heart
Having your blood pressure taken is pretty standard at the doctor’s office, but did you know it can actually save your life? High blood pressure is a leading cause of heart disease, especially for women, and is important to monitor since it often has no symptoms. Watch this video to learn more and visit our table in the main lobby at Gate A of XFINITY Center this Sunday when Women’s Basketball takes on Purdue. We’ll be offering free blood pressure screenings, information and some fun freebies as the game day sponsor! Go Terps!
