Award-Winning Gospel Artist Yolanda Adams Comes to Landover to Inspire African American Community to "Believe in Healthy BP"

Yolanda Adams, Grammy® Award-winning Gospel artist and nationally-syndicated radio host, is speaking out as part of the Believe in Healthy BP campaign to raise awareness about the serious health epidemic contributing to the loss of thousands of African American lives each year– high blood pressure.  Adams is urging members of the community to believe that they can achieve and maintain a healthy blood pressure goal.

On Saturday, June 18, Adams will bring her annual Health & Lifestyle Tour and inspirational message to Landover, MD.  As part of the Believe in Healthy BP campaign, FREE blood pressure screenings and educational materials – including a Doctor Discussion Guide and Blood Pressure Log  – will be offered at the Jericho Christian Academy.  An interactive exhibit, featuring a walk-through, simulated blood vessel, will also be on display and open to the public throughout the day.

Believe in Healthy BP is sponsored by Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation. More information about the program is available at www.BelieveinHealthyBP.com.
