Get a healthy start to the new year with free blood pressure clinics
Sacramento Public Library will host a dozen free blood pressure clinics throughout Sacramento County in the new year.
Blood pressure clinics at select library locations will be staffed by registered nurses. No appointment is necessary. Simply drop in to have your blood pressure checked and get tips on how to improve your heart health.
High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease, which is the leading cause of death in the United States. Millions of Americans have high blood pressure, but many people who have it don’t know it. That’s why it is important to have your blood pressure checked at least once a year.
This program is part of the Library’s efforts to support health equity in our communities and is made possible through a partnership with Samuel Merritt University.
