Over 30,000 people from our community have received services from the Doctors' Volunteer Clinic since its opening in 1999. Many of these patients are children with contagious upper respiratory infections and fevers for whom medication is necessary and yet for some unobtainable.

"It is a rare community who demonstrates responsibility for the improvement of their community's health in such a manner as The Doctors' Volunteer Clinic of St. George, without seeking government funding," says Tony Young of the National Free Clinic Association. "Free Clinics across the nation continue to have a significant impact on the improved
health of communities and greatly benefit the communities they serve."

One of the most important interventions in any patient is to achieve a good blood pressure control. If we achieve excellent control of blood pressure, the chances of developing complications of hypertension are decreased. High blood pressure (also called hypertension) increases your chances of having a heart attack, heart failure, stroke, kidney disease, and other life-threatening illnesses. Anyone can get it, and as you get older, the likelihood of your developing high blood pressure increases. If you are overweight or obese or if you have diabetes, the odds are even higher. High blood pressure is called "the silent killer" because there often are no symptoms. Your numbers are your only warning. Reason why, frequent blood pressure evaluation and learning how to interpret it is really important.

Your blood pressure reading uses these two numbers, the systolic and diastolic pressures. Usually they are written one above or before the other. A reading of

* 120/80 or lower is normal blood pressure

* 140/90 or higher is high blood pressure

* 120 and 139 for the top number, or between 80 and 89 for the bottom number is pre-hypertension

In the doctors volunteers clinic we are committed to help you understand this condition and we are here to guide you in your therapy.

We currently have trained medical and nursing staff to provide you with the best options for the treatment of your hypertension.
