Blood Pressure
Self-Measured Blood Pressure Monitoring
Check. Track. Take Control of Your Health.
High blood pressure often has no symptoms - but knowing your numbers is one of the most important steps you can take for your health. Our Self-Measured Blood Pressure Monitoring Program makes it easy and convenient to monitor your blood pressure in a supportive, non-clinical setting.
High blood pressure affects nearly half of the U.S. adults, often without symptoms, leading to heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease.
How the Program Works
- Check your Blood Pressure at the Community Health & Wellness Center: Stop in and use our easy-to-use blood pressure station during hours of operation; no appointment is needed.
- Take a Monitor Home: Borrow a blood pressure monitor to use at home for up to two weeks.
- Track Your Readings: Log your numbers over time to better understand your blood pressure patterns.
- Learn What Your Numbers Mean: Educational resources are available to help you make sense of your readings and support heart-healthy habits.
