 On Friday, February 2nd, Pikeville Medical Center kicked off American Heart Month with their first Freebie Friday. PMC patients and staff were welcomed to learn about the risks of heart disease and other cardiovascular ailments as well as the opportunity to receive free screenings. Today's event also coincided with Go Red for Women Day, which prioritizes women's heart health. Today and another Friday in February, we will be doing Freebie Friday, we're doing free blood pressures, glucose, BMI checks, and we'll be giving you some information about cholesterol, high blood pressure, how to control that, information about heart attacks, and the American Heart Association pushes hands-only CPR, so we'll be telling you about that. Today is a special day. It is Go Red for Women Day. Cardiovascular disease is the number one color of women in the United States. So we want to push women to get their heart checked because a lot of women will just let it go and not do it. We need those blood pressures checked, those glucose checked, have those EKGs, have those, you know, normal, just normal things when you go to the doctor and so we can catch those things early.
