Medical students from Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School will teach you how increased stress and lack of sleep impacts hypertension.

There will be a discussion of sleep apnea and the connection between heart failure and insomnia.   This presentation will be both informative and enjoyable for all participants!

We will also be offering suggestions on how to modify these lifestyle habits to better manage high blood pressure independently in the long term.
