Joaquim Chaves Saúde offers screenings on World Hypertension Day

Blood pressure measurement is still one of the most effective ways to assess the risk of a serious cardiac event, one of the main causes of death in Portugal. The World Hypertension Day is celebrated today, May 17th, and Joaquim Chaves Saúde will mark the date with screenings, all throughout the day, at Alegro Sintra, at CascaiShopping, and at Joaquim Chaves Fitness.

Joaquim Chaves Saúde is increasingly recognized as a provider of integrated health care, with several medical clinics in Lisbon and the Algarve which provide services in Cardiology, Oncology, Imaging, Gastroenterology, among many other specialties. On 17th of May, the Group will post two health professionals in each location - Alegro Sintra and CascaiShopping - in order to screen the population and alert them to the risks related to high blood pressure. Screenings will also be available at Joaquim Chaves Fitness, in Restelo, for all members. These screening campaigns are fundamental, since vigilance and prevention continue to be powerful weapons against the negative effects of this condition.

 
The blood pressure measurement will then take place as follows:

        - Alegro Sintra, inside our Sintra Clinic - from 9am to 8pm;

 
        - CascaiShopping, in Praça A, next to the metal tree - from 9am to 8pm.

 
        -Joaquim Chaves Fitness Club do Restelo - May 17 de maio, from 11am to 12am; from 1pm to 2pm; and from 6.30pm to 7.30pm
