Give your heart some love.
While about 1 in 3 U.S. adults has high blood pressure, only about half of them have it under control. And many have no idea they have it at all.1 This can be dangerous because high blood pressure can lead to both heart disease and stroke — two of the leading causes of death in the United States.
High blood pressure is called "the Silent Killer" because it often has no symptoms or warning signs. Be sure you have yours checked regularly. You can do this at your doctor's office, many pharmacies and some retailers.

Keep your eye health in focus.
As with most health conditions, when eye problems are caught earlier they’re often easier to treat. In some cases, early detection and treatment can be the difference between vision loss and preserved vision. Visit our Eye and Vision Learning Center to learn more about the most common causes of vision loss and blindness, including cataracts, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.
Including vision health as part of your overall health care may reduce your risk and enhance your life. It’s recommended that people over the age of 60 have an eye exam every two years, while those with diabetes have one every year.

Where to get care.
There are many different ways to get care when you need it, but it's often confusing which choice to make. Here are a few simple guidelines:
- See your primary care provider (PCP) for routine care and minor illnesses
- Visit urgent care when it isn't an emergency (sprains, minor breaks such as a stress fracture, stitches, sudden illness like strep throat), but your PCP can't see you
- Visit the emergency room (ER) or call 911 for more severe issues (heavy bleeding, major breaks, chest pain or trouble breathing)
To reduce a little stress during urgent care or ER moments, it's good to know a location near you ahead of time.
