Great interview by my colleague and friend Dr David Vinson — emphasizing that hospitals are safe and to not delay seeking emergency care

@KPCREST1 @PermanenteDocs

[Richard Isaacs, MD @DrRichardIsaacs]

Encouraging to see these trends. Our @permanentedocs teams worked hard throughout #COVID19 to make sure our patients felt safe seeking the emergency care they needed. Great work @KPDOR @MDSolomonMD @kpstrokedoc @asgmd1.

[American_Stroke @American_Stroke]

A7 High Blood Pressure is the most common controllable cause of stroke. Recent guidelines redefined High Blood Pressure as a reading of 130/80. Nearly half of all adults in the U.S. have High Blood Pressure. Commit to a plan today. - Dr. B #Brainforlife

A7: High #bloodpressure is dubbed the silent killer. Many people don’t even know they have it. You might not see or feel symptoms but the results from having uncontrolled blood pressure can lead to heart attack, #stroke @StrokeStudy #BrainforLife
