Our “Do It for Life” Campaign: Blood Pressure Care

Our latest program focuses on high blood pressure—a common health concern in Canada affecting 1 in 4 people. To make care convenient, we want to be where people are, bringing health assessments to workplaces, organizations, community centers, or societies to bring care close to home.

"Do It for Life" Campaign, the largest ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) screening initiative in North America. This campaign aims to screen 100,000 individuals to raise awareness about hypertension, one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in North America, and to help prevent strokes, heart attacks, and sudden cardiac death.
