FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS

FOR PATIENTS

Erlanger offers a full spectrum of unique services related to stroke prevention and treatment.

Ninety percent of all strokes are caused by uncontrolled hypertension (high blood pressure.) To address this huge and growing problem the Erlanger Hypertension Management Center offers services aimed at controlling blood pressure to less than 120/80. Most strokes are preventable if hypertension is detected and controlled to less than 120/80. The Center treats children, adolescents and adults. Call (423) 778-4408 for an appointment.
