Scenic Regional Library offers blood pressure monitoring kits

All Scenic Regional Library branches are now carrying blood pressure monitoring kits for patrons to check out for up to 28 days.

The American Heart Association and St. Louis County Library partnered to create a new program, Libraries with Heart, earlier this year. The program allows library patrons to check out kits that contain an arm monitor cuff, instructions on how to accurately check blood pressure at home, information about ways to lower blood pressure, a list of local healthcare providers and a notepad to record each blood pressure check that comes in a plastic carrying case.
