We were recently moved by a powerful story shared by Kevin Murphy, Member Experience Director at Lake Anna YMCA, about the life-saving impact of the new HealthBOT blood pressure machine installed this spring at the Y.

Thanks to a generous grant from the Tuscora Park Health and Wellness Foundation—administered by Barberton Community Foundation—the YMCA was able to purchase and install a HealthBOT kiosk to help members monitor their blood pressure regularly.

Kevin was the very first to use the new machine, and what happened next underscores exactly why these tools matter:

“As soon as the kiosk was delivered and set up, I eagerly took my blood pressure, excited to be the first to use it. To my shock, the reading was a staggering 214/105. The thing was, I felt completely fine! Thanks to the advice of my coworkers, I immediately made an appointment with my primary physician. She started me on medication, but within a month, I was admitted to the hospital with sepsis and a life-threatening infection. This was the root cause of my dangerously high blood pressure. I underwent four surgeries in the first week of April and spent a full month in the hospital. Thankfully, I'm back to work now and almost fully recovered.”

Kevin has no doubt about the role the HealthBOT played in alerting him to a silent but serious condition:

“I truly believe that the HealthBOT was a key factor in saving my life. Had I not discovered my incredibly elevated blood pressure thanks to the kiosk, I may not have sought medical attention in time.”

Kevin has been a dedicated YMCA team member for 23 years. This summer, the Barberton YMCA is busier than ever, welcoming 300 kids a week for its Summer Extravaganza programs. We’re proud that our technology plays a small part in supporting community wellness alongside partners like Lake Anna YMCA and BCF.

From all of us: Thank you, Kevin, for sharing your story—and we wish you continued health and strength in your recovery.

The Lifeclinic LC300 automated blood pressure monitor was featured on the CBS daytime talk show The Doctors, a nationally syndicated series known for delivering timely medical insights from a panel of practicing healthcare professionals.

Through an on-screen demonstration, the segment showcased how the LC300 makes clinical-grade blood pressure monitoring accessible to the public—supporting preventive health and early detection in everyday settings.

In the heart of Harlem, a vibrant New York City neighborhood, Lifeclinic Blood Pressure Health Stations are playing a vital role in a community-wide initiative to identify, manage, and educate residents about hypertension. By placing accessible health stations in local hubs, the campaign empowers individuals to take control of their blood pressure and overall heart health.

A powerful, real-life testimonial from a daughter who shares the emotional story of the day her father’s life was saved—all because he chose to check his blood pressure using a Lifeclinic automated monitor at his neighborhood pharmacy. A simple decision that made all the difference.
