PACCAL is a community partner of Kalusugan Coalition in the Project AsPIRE study addressing hypertension among Filipinos in New Jersey and New York. With Valentine’s Day and February being American Heart Month, this project becomes more significant. Kalusugan Coalition will offer FREE Blood Pressure, Glucose and Cholesterol screenings from 5:00 pm tp 8:30 p.m and invite participants to become involved in a Community Health Worker program to help them learn how to become healthier. (Anyone who wants to be screened should avoid eating 2 hours before the screenings.)

This event promises to be a happy and truly momentous occasion for the month of hearts.
