Love Your Heart This Valentine's Day!


High blood pressure, often called the “silent killer,” affects millions of people and often goes unnoticed until serious health complications arise. Regular blood pressure screenings are a critical step in taking control of your health. These quick and painless tests provide valuable insight into your heart health and can help identify potential issues before they become severe.

Knowing your numbers empowers you to take action. Elevated blood pressure increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other life-threatening conditions, but early detection allows you to make lifestyle changes or seek medical care to reduce those risks. Simple steps like adopting a heart-healthy diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and managing stress can significantly impact your blood pressure and overall well-being.

In honor of Valentine’s Day, the Santa Monica Family YMCA invites you to “Love Your Heart” on Friday, February 15, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for FREE blood pressure screenings. This event is open to the entire community, reflecting our commitment to improving the health and wellness of all.

Take advantage of this opportunity to learn your numbers, understand what they mean, and receive guidance on how to maintain a healthy heart. Whether you’ve had screenings before or this is your first time, this is a chance to prioritize your health and show your heart some love.


For details, contact the Santa Monica Family YMCA at 310-393-2721 or visit our website at ymcasm.org
