One in three Americans has high blood pressure (hypertension) and doesn’t know it. High blood pressure is a “silent” disease in that it has no signs or symptoms. Left untreated high blood pressure can cause several serious health problems.

If you don’t know your blood pressure numbers, stop by Sutter Walk-In Care for a blood pressure check. If we conclude you have high blood pressure because of a medical condition, we will refer you to the appropriate clinician.

We accept most insurance plans.
