In a partnership with the American Heart Association, HCC food pantries have tabletop blood pressure units available to clients at no cost. The Dayton Food Pantry has Community Health Workers (CHWs) that can help pantry guests with resources, access to education and support for lifestyle changes. CHW’s can also connect with a client’s primary care physician to help create and support a healthy living plan and set goals. If you have any questions or would like to participate in a program to support connection with a CHW in your area to address risk factors for Metabolic Syndrome, please email [email protected]. Even if you do not have a history of blood pressure issues, keeping an eye on your blood pressure can help you spot other health issues early.

High blood pressure, along with a combination of at least three of these other conditions: high HDL Cholesterol, low triglycerides, high blood sugar or a waist circumference of greater than 40 inches for men and greater than 35 inches for women can be indicators or risk factors for Metabolic Syndrome.
