Walker marks American Heart Month
Assemblymember Latrice Walker got her blood pressure checked as part of an American Heart Month celebration at BMS Family Health and Wellness Centers on Feb. 20. Walker, a Democrat representing Brownsville, was one of 100 people, including BMS Chief Executive Officer Harvey Lawrence, undergoing blood pressure screenings.
The social media hashtag #HeartHealthyNYC has been developed by the New York City Department of Health and members of the Take the Pressure Off, NYC! Coalition as part of an effort to reduce the number of New Yorkers with high blood pressure by 150,000 by the year 2022.
