Volunteers from the Memorial Hospital Auxiliary offer free blood pressure screening three days a week at the Shore Health System Diagnostic and Imaging Center located at 10 Martin Court in Easton. This is a valuable service for people who are required to monitor their blood pressure on a regular basis.

Auxiliary volunteers trained to measure blood pressure welcome walk-ins Monday through Wednesday from 9:00 a.m. to noon, except holidays. No appointment or physician referral is necessary. Blood pressure results are forwarded to the patient’s physician. If a person is not under medical supervision and a blood pressure reading exceeds certain limits, the auxiliary volunteer may suggest a physician consultation.

The Memorial Hospital Auxiliary is looking for additional volunteers to staff the blood pressure screening clinic.  Retired nurses and individuals with medical experience are ideal volunteers for this program. Training is available for those with no experience.
