Behtel Health Center. The screening will run from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Gonzales said the emergency care team likes to have the screening «)n Valentine’s Day be cause it seems more appropriate with all the hearts everywhere. He said the team hopes people will care enough to tell their friends about the importance of the screening. People tend to think they don’t need to worry about high blood pressure when they’re young, he said. But it’s impor tant to catch the condition, which rarely causes noticeable symptoms, at an early stage. It’s important for people over 40 years old to have their blood pressure checked twice a year and for younger people to have their pressure checked at least once a year, he said. The emergency medical tech nicians at the health center are trained to check blood pressure and are available to do so be tween 7:15 a.m. and 5 p.m. at no cost. coupon.
