Reflections on Labor Day

The Pullman Strike of 1894 not only gave the US a national holiday, it also legitimized unionism, and defined the modern labor movement — one centered around mass activism and progressive ideals.

Heart disease continues to be a leading cause of death and disability in the United States and the world. Our goal is to connect childhood risk factor measurements to the risk for heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases in adults.
If you have been part of the Blood Pressure Study since childhood, please contact us. We have started a new phase of the study, and are asking you to join us again. You have been a driving force with this research to prevent heart disease in adults by allowing us to measure your risk factors (such as obesity, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure) throughout your childhood and into adulthood.

By answering a few simple questions about your present heart health you will again be a major contributor to this research. The process will only take a few minutes and you will be compensated for your time. If you were part of this study in the past, please give us a call at 612-624-0606.
