24-Hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring in Community Pharmacies

This study is designed to explore the feasibility of providing 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in community pharmacies. The investigators hypothesize it will be feasible for community pharmacies to provide the service to assist medical providers in the diagnosing and management of high blood pressure. The investigators will also survey participants regarding their experience with the service as well as conduct interviews with participating pharmacists and medical providers to understand their views and opinions on the feasibility of the service.
