WIESBADEN, Germany -- Wiesbaden High School students joined the Wiesbaden Army Health Clinic in offering blood pressure screenings as part of Go Red for Women Day, sponsored by the American Heart Association.

Maj. Rosemary Wosky, U.S. Army Public Health Nurse, stressed the importance of information and education in making healthy lifestyle decisions. People may not want to know what their blood pressure is, but knowing what is going on inside is a first step in making better choices, she said.

Undra Marbury-Robinson escorted the students to the event to support volunteering. This is her second year supporting heart health awareness by bringing students out to volunteer. "It's about learning about how to give back to the community," she said.
