Take Control of Your Health:
Free Blood Pressure Screenings in Our Community

​

High blood pressure is called the “silent killer” — and for good reason. It often has no symptoms, yet it can lead to life-threatening conditions like heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, and even vision loss. At Wellcome Care, we’re committed to changing that — one screening at a time.

 

Why Blood Pressure Screenings Matter

• Nearly 1 in 2 adults in the U.S. has high blood pressure — but only 1 in 4 has it under control.

• High blood pressure is twice as likely to impact Black adults compared to white adults.

• Hispanic communities are more likely to experience complications from uncontrolled blood pressure due to delayed care.

• Uncontrolled hypertension increases the risk of stroke by 4X and heart failure by 3X.

• You can’t manage what you don’t measure.

 

That’s why Wellcome Care brings FREE blood pressure checks directly into our community — no appointment, no insurance, no cost.
