Description

Hosted by Lance Chase, this episode of Focus Hawaii features Kathy Bow of the State Hypertension Program, pharmacist Jeff Kong, and firefighter Lee Muller as they discuss high blood pressure awareness during National Blood Pressure Week. The guests explain lifestyle‑based prevention strategies, why hypertension often shows no symptoms, and the importance of regular screenings, especially through Hawai‘i’s statewide fire‑station blood‑pressure check program. They highlight how firefighters are trained to provide free screenings, how community outreach helps identify at‑risk individuals, and how public education—combined with early detection—plays a vital role in preventing heart disease, stroke, and related health problems.
