March is Stroke Awareness Month and we want you to learn the stroke symptoms and get your blood pressure checked throughout March. Half of all strokes are linked to high blood pressure (Hypertension). Knowing your blood pressure and controlling it with lifestyle changes and/or medication will reduce your risk of stroke.

This year we are partnering with the Stroke Foundation NZ and their Blood Pressure Van and we will be at various locations throughout March.

Sat 4th March: Pipes in the Park, Waitangi Park, Wellington.
Sun 5th March: Newtown Festival, Wellington.
Fr 10th—Sun 12th March: Rural Games in the Square, Palmerston North.
Fr 17th March: Ageing with Attitude Expo, Masterton.
Thu 16th—Sat 18th March: Central District Field Days, Manfeild, Fielding.
