Brentwood Physician Provides Free Blood Pressure Screening

NASHVILLE, Tenn., November 12, 2009—Manisha Kalra, M.D., a board-certified family practice physician at Brentwood East Family Medicine, will offer a free community blood pressure screening during Kroger’s Senior Day. The screening will take place on Wednesday, December 2, 2009 from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. at the Kroger located at 6700 Nolensville Pike near Concord Road. Participants can get their blood pressure checked and a one-on-one consultation with a healthcare provider.

“When patients are aware of their heart disease risk factors, they can work with their physicians to manage them before they lead to something more serious,” said Dr. Kalra. “Blood pressure screenings are a quick, easy way for people to become more knowledgeable about their own health and begin the process of reducing their chance for heart attack and stroke.”
