May marks the arrival of warmer weather, longer days, and a sense of renewal as spring reaches its peak in many parts of this hemisphere. This is the time of year when people are most excited to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather, flowers, and wildlife that spring has to offer

May is also full of diverse holidays including Mother's Day, Victoria Day, and Asian Heritage Month. Finally, the time has come to go outdoors and enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, camping, and simply relaxing in the natural beauty.

May is observed as Hypertension Awareness Month including World Hypertension Day on May 17th so it is fitting that in this newsletter we highlight Hypertension (high blood pressure) awareness and the connection between Hypertension and Oral Health.
