Actively Involved: Knowing Your Numbers: Blood Pressure and Cholesterol

High Blood Pressure (HBP) is a serious condition—and one of the top drivers of health care costs in the vast majority of organizations. About 1 in 3 adults in the United States has HBP. Because the condition itself usually has no symptoms, it’s important to help your employees know why their blood pressure numbers are important, even when they’re feeling fine. Educate your employees about how serious high blood pressure can be and encourage them to get their blood pressure checked regularly.
