Jones County Commissioner Checks Blood Pressure
  |  Jones County
During the  Jones County Health Fair, one of the vendors did not show and they were supposed to do blood pressure screenings.  Since they did not show, Jonathan Pitts (one of the County Commissioners) stepped in.  He not only checked blood pressure, but checked BMI too (please see attached pictures). Nearly 1/3 of their employees participated in the Health Fair and of those, 97% completed the HRAs! They also wanted employees to be more active while at the Health Fair instead of just “scooping” freebies from each booth.  So they had employees have their blood pressure and oxygen checked, walk five laps around the gym, and then recheck their blood pressure and oxygen.  It was really great!
