Learn more about managing your blood pressure and protecting your health
This summer, the Johnson County Department of Health and Environment is partnering with the Kansas City Medical Society Foundation to present an online health webinar series centering around high blood pressure (hypertension). The “Doc Talk” series will give participants the opportunity to speak with a local physician about how they can manage their blood pressure and protect their health. The webinars are open to the public and there is no charge to attend.
