Our House: Blood Pressure

Posted by Staff on November 2, 2023 - 1:39pm

By Karen L. Kier
Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU Healthwise Team 

Our House was recorded by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and released on their Déjà Vu album in 1970.  Nash wrote the song after eating breakfast with Joni Mitchell and returning to her Los Angeles home. He went to Joni’s piano and the song just flowed in a short period of time.  The song has been used in various commercials, TV shows, and movies such as Kenmore appliances, My Girl 2, and How I Met Your Mother.

Our house is a very good place to measure blood pressure (BP) to reduce the risk of heart disease!
