Veterans Memorial Hospital Community and Home Care Allamakee Public Health began offering monthly free blood pressure check clinics all around Allamakee County in June. Nurses from Allamakee County Public Health visit each library in the county once per month to take a blood pressure reading. Blood pressure results are recorded on a log card given to all visitors to bring back each month so their next results can be logged. These blood pressure clinics have been successful and will continue, as originally established, on these recurring days:
• Lansing: First Monday of the month, 9:45-11:45 a.m.
• Postville: Third Monday of the month, 9-11 a.m.
