Members of The University of Findlay’s Academy of Student Pharmacists will offer free blood pressure and blood glucose monitoring the first Saturday of every month during the school year beginning Dec.1 at the Findlay Village Mall.

Anyone interested in having his or her blood pressure and blood glucose checked is welcome to stop in between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. The monitoring station will be set up near the entrance closest to Tokyo Steakhouse.

Approximately 15 students, supervised by a pharmacist, will perform the monitoring.

According to club vice president Jenny Mason, the group’s goal is to promote good health within the community by making people aware of their blood pressure and blood glucose levels, both of which can be indicators of diseases such as high blood pressure or diabetes.

The Academy of Student Pharmacists will also offer free blood pressure and blood glucose monitoring Jan. 5, Feb. 2, March 1 and April 5.

Faculty adviser for the group is Marc Sweeney, Pharm.D., associate professor of pharmacy and chair of the department of pharmacy practice. For additional information, contact the School of Pharmacy at 419-434-5327.
