One in three adults in the United States has high blood pressure. Diagnosis of high blood pressure, or hypertension, will allow your doctor to provide you with a number of ways to combat the disease before it becomes a serious problem. If undiagnosed and untreated, hypertension directly increases risk of heart attack, heart failure, and stroke, and also greatly increases the risk of kidney damage or failure, vision loss, and brain damage.

As a service to the community, Dr. Shannon C. McDonald with Southern Hills Family Medicine of Brentwood is offering free monthly health screenings at the Brentwood Library. No reservations necessary!
