High blood pressure often produces no obvious warning signs. Without routine screening, people may discover the condition only after a stroke, heart problem, kidney complication or other serious health event.

Pressure Check takes blood-pressure screening and practical prevention education into communities where regular primary care may be difficult to access.

What the Campaign Supports

Your gift helps provide:

• Free or affordable community blood-pressure checks.
• Portable blood-pressure monitors and supplies.
• Education about hypertension risks and complications.

Why Your Support Matters

Checking blood pressure takes only a few minutes, but the information can change the course of a person’s health. Early awareness gives individuals the opportunity to seek care, improve daily habits and reduce the risk of severe complications.

Partnership Opportunities

Hospitals, pharmacies, employers, device manufacturers, health professionals and foundations can sponsor screening days, donate monitors, provide educational materials or support patient referrals.

Help Communities Check It Before Crisis Strikes

A person should not have to experience a stroke or medical emergency to learn that their blood pressure was dangerously high.
