Love Your Heart is an annual event in which organizations from across the U.S. and Mexico join together to provide FREE blood pressure screenings to the public on or near Valentine’s Day. The event brings together community partners to prevent heart disease and stroke and empowers the public to take control of their heart health, know their blood pressure numbers, and know what they mean.
High blood pressure is the most common underlying condition identified in San Diego County’s COVID-related deaths. The best way to know if you have high blood pressure is to have it checked, as there are often no warning signs or symptoms to tell you something is wrong.
You can participate in Love Your Heart by:
Checking your blood pressure,
Submitting your results, and
Participating in our online educational workshops.
Check your blood pressure by making an appointment with your primary care physician, visiting an in-person Love Your Heart screening site if you are out in the community, or by checking it with a home blood pressure cuff.
Submit your results during Love Your Heart Month to learn what they mean and receive a free face mask and hand sanitizer (while supplies last).
