On Saturday April 3rd, 2004, the combined resources of the Rotary Club of the Rotary Club of Heston & Isleworth in District 1130 and the Rotary Club of Hounslow in District 1140 established a public Blood Pressure testing service in the Treaty Centre in Hounslow High Street.
240 members of the local public (cf. 212 in 2003) were tested throughout the day by a team of medical staff headed by Dr Marjorie Wheldon-Smith (the wife of H&I Fellow Ray Smith). Of the 240 people checked, around 5% showed signs on high blood pressure and were recommended to see their own GP in the near future.
Another bi-product of the day is that we have high hopes of welcoming a potential new Rotarian to the Heston & Isleworth Club.
