Central VNA Partners with Franklin Savings Bank

LACONIA — Central New Hampshire VNA and Hospice is announcing that they have partnered with Franklin Savings Bank to help bring better health and more health education to residents of the Lakes Region. Thanks to a generous grant from Franklin Savings Bank, Central is able to offer free blood pressure clinics to previously underserved communities.

For the first time, citizens and visitors to Bristol and Gilford can find a free clinic at a convenient location. On Wednesday, July 31 and Wednesday, August 28 from noon to 1 p.m., a Central VNA nurse will be in the FSB lobby in Gilford located at 11 Sawmill Road. Look for them in Bristol on August 13, 3-4 p.m. at FSB’s 350 Lake Street branch. Participants can have their blood pressure taken, know the names of local doctors currently accepting patients, health counseling, and even take home some Central VNA swag to remind you who to call when home healthcare is needed.
