The Blood Pressure Cure by Robert E. Kowalski. After three solid years of research, Kowalski developed a program of completely new approaches to lowering blood pressure.
  "Lifeclinic is pleased to be supporting Novartis and the IAFF in this campaign," said Steve Halperin, Lifeclinic’s Chief Marketing Officer. Halperin added, "For years, firehouses across the nation have acted as a base of outreach; in many communities their doors are open for those who want to have their blood pressure measured. We see our health stations as a valuable asset and tool for IAFF members in meeting the ever increasing technological demands required in today’s biometric testing environment. Because of programs like STOP•DROP•CONTROL, people now understand that hypertension can be just one of several diseases a person may have that need to be monitored and managed."
VitalsTracker.com is also a useful way to store health records. Medication names, dosage, and refill dates can be recorded and stored on this site. Dr. Mireille Moise designed vitalsTracker.com because she wanted patients to “imagine one place which can be accessed anywhere that holds the name and contact information of your health care providers, your medication list, and your important health readings.”

The site also includes informative health articles on disease conditions, trends in healthcare, as well as tips to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
