We’re proud to highlight the outreach efforts of Hypertension Canada member Raveenie Rajasingham, who recently supported two important community initiatives:
- Free Health & Fasting Community Clinic at the Pickering Islamic Center
- Diverse Minds Collective Seniors Group

Through blood pressure screening and cardiovascular health education, initiatives like these reinforce the importance of knowing your numbers and understanding hypertension risk.

Hypertension affects 1 in 4 Canadian adults. Community outreach plays a critical role in early detection, prevention, and empowering individuals to understand and manage their cardiovascular risk.

Thank you, Raveenie, for your continued leadership and commitment to heart health.
