KNOW YOUR NUMBERS

Staying healthy includes routine checks of your cholesterol and blood pressure. This service is offered at Ransom County Public Health but can also be done at regular Dr. appointments. A new tool that we have added is a booklet titled "Know Your Numbers", this easy to use tool allows you to record your personal numbers and track your progress or remind you to make lifestyle changes. "Know Your Numbers" records the date of screening, blood glucose, blood pressure, total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, weight, BMI, and waist measurement. If you have questions about your numbers you can talk to one of the nurses on staff, you can make an appointment with our licensed dietician or you can consult your doctor. Take some time and stop into Ransom County Public Health and pick up your free booklet.
