Free blood pressure screening

Free blood pressure screenings will be offered on December 12. Screenings will be held from 9:00-11:00 am near the cafe; drop by, no appointment necessary. Screenings are open to the public. Alert your friends to this free service!

Screenings will be held with Keona Salcedo, an American Heart Association (AHA) HeartCorps service member who has joined the Culpeper Wellness Foundation for a year-long internship. In coordination with Foundation staff, Keona is managing programming to support community heart health, such as blood pressure screenings and health-focused discussion groups. Keona has a BA in Global Public Health. She is pursuing a Masters of Public Health.

HeartCorps reflects the commitment of the AHA to serve the health needs of rural communities. Such communities often face a critical shortage of health care professionals, which negatively impacts the care rural residents receive. Through the work of service members like Keona, AHA is working to address inequities and improve blood pressure control and cardiovascular health in rural communities.

We are located at 1005 Golf Drive in Culpeper.
