Project Pressure kicked off this week in Central Florida (www.projectpressure.com). It aims to increase Blood Pressure Awareness and Blood Pressure Health Compliance through a motivating educational campaign. Organizers hope the Project will not only raise awareness of the dangers of hypertension in their area, but also motivate cities and communities nationwide to step up their blood pressure education efforts. Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer kicked off the initiative with a challenge for one million residents to check their BP numbers. While the challenge was directed to Central Floridians, the information at www.projectpressure.com is relevant to everyone.
About Project Pressure:
Project Pressure will reach residents where they live and work through exciting events, blood pressure challenges, Fire Station Street Parties, BP tracking digital billboard, the chance to win prizes from an ambush-style Pressure Patrol Prize Van, and much more. There will be an interactive website where people can enter their BP numbers, learn lifestyle modification options such as healthy recipes, exercise tips and relaxation podcasts. The Project will conclude with a free Grand Finale community concert event.

Was the Orlando Fire Department at this event or Orange County?
Both were represented at the kick-off event. In case you didn't know, you can get your BP checked for free at any fire station. Also in the near future Project Pressure will begin Fire Station Street Parties.
