20 May: Best Buy has the tools you need for Blood Pressure Education Month

May 1 marked the start of High Blood Pressure Education Month. Under American Heart Association guidelines, nearly half of U.S. adults have high blood pressure and 75% of those with high blood pressure do not have it controlled.

Self-monitoring at home is a great way to manage your blood pressure, whether you have been diagnosed with hypertension or are just looking to keep tabs on your health. Home monitoring allows you to check your blood pressure in a familiar setting, make certain your medication is working and alert you and your doctor to potential health complications.

While Tony immediately planned to send the badge back, Bob included a note that explained there was no one more deserving of his badge. The two have never met in person, but they’ve developed a bond over the years that Bob says saved his life.

We’re proud to share that three supply chain facilities — two in California and one in Washington — have earned TRUE certification for zero waste. That means each building diverts more than 90% of its waste from landfills, getting us one step closer to making a positive, lasting impact on the planet.  

These distribution centers are joining our Reverse Logistics Center in Chino, California, which was Best Buy’s first facility to receive TRUE certification last year, each with goals of supporting supply chain waste reduction.

In 2019, Mani joined Best Buy as a quality assurance engineer on the Accessibility Team.

Brodie, a 12-year-old from Massachusetts, finds happiness in video games and watching movies with his younger brother as he battles leukemia.
