Yorktown & County Launch New Senior Health Service

November 23, 2022 – Weekly vital signs monitoring is now available at the Yorktown Senior Center thanks to a collaboration between Westchester County Department of Health and the Town’s Senior Services department.

Local seniors can now have their vital signs checked every Monday between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. in the Community Room at the Yorktown Senior Center. The checks will be performed by licensed nurses and the data will be reviewed securely with patients. The nurses will check blood pressure; blood oxygen saturation; body weight; and pulse.

Regular vital signs checks are recommended for individuals with health issues like high blood pressure.

The Yorktown Senior Center is located at 1974 Commerce St. in Yorktown Heights.

The press is invited to attend the vital signs check on November 29 at 9 a.m.
