Libraries are offering free health and wellness classes across the US

^{Published on 2024-11-29 12:02:59 - Phil Bruner, N@N}

Libraries around across the U.S. are helping people get healthier. They offer fitness classes, food pantries, cooking classes, conversations about loneliness and mental health, and even blood pressure monitors that can be checked out just like books.

The article from AP News discusses how public libraries across the U.S. are increasingly becoming venues for health and wellness programs, particularly focusing on managing chronic conditions like high blood pressure. Libraries in states like California, Illinois, and Pennsylvania are offering free classes that teach attendees how to monitor their blood pressure, understand their readings, and engage in lifestyle changes to manage their health. These programs, often supported by grants or partnerships with health organizations, aim to address health disparities by providing accessible health education in community spaces. For instance, the Santa Clara County Library District in California has seen success with its "Hypertension Haven" program, where participants not only learn about blood pressure management but also receive free blood pressure monitors. These initiatives reflect a broader trend of libraries evolving into community health hubs, offering not just books but also vital health services to underserved populations.
