Since 1974, observance of National High Blood Pressure Education Month in May has launched new high blood pressure prevention and control activities for the year. The theme of the 2006 Campaign is Mission Possible: Prevent and Control High Blood Pressure. Join the Mission! Many community groups, civic and faith-based organizations, hospital outreach programs, public health departments, and workplaces use May to renew their activities to prevent and control high blood pressure. The National High Blood Pressure Education Month Web site has been updated in 2006 to be your complete outreach effort resource. Check out the most up-to-date information and tools, such as the electronic Planning Kit, for help in planning activities in your community with various groups. Use the activity registry to let everyone know what you are planning and get ideas from others. Browse NHLBI’s fact sheets and other publications, then download and duplicate them, or order printed copies. Your actions can help. So get started today!
