Rotary Club of Wigan – Stroke Awareness Day
Wigan’s Stroke Awareness Day organised by the members of the Rotary Club of Wigan in conjunction with the Stroke Association UK will be held on Saturday 23rd April 2016, with the Worshipful the Mayor of Wigan, Cllr.Sue Loudon in attendance to open the event.
Rotary President Keith Trencher comments,” This ninth annual event will be held on Saturday, the 23rd of April from 10.00 am to 04.00 pm at the Tesco super-market off Central Park Way in Wigan where medically trained members of the Rotary Club of Wigan will be offering free blood pressure checks to the public.”
High blood pressure, which is not always recognised by the patient, is the biggest risk factor in the cause of strokes, and can be easily treated and controlled by medication. All people who volunteer to have their blood pressures estimated on that day will be given their respective readings and advice to consult their general practitioner for a further check and/or treatment as appropriate.
The Rotary Club of Wigan want to encourage the people of Wigan to take this great opportunity to have a free check on the 23rd April 2016 and help themselves and Rotary’s efforts in the prevention of strokes in our community so come and meet us at Tesco.
