Blood Pressure Project is a UC Berkeley student organization dedicated to raising blood pressure awareness and providing free blood pressure screenings and cardiovascular education to Berkeley's underserved communities. Members go out to sites like Dorothy Day House and the North Berkeley Senior Center to conduct screenings, and general meetings feature guest speakers from the local health community. The club is partnered with Heart 2 Heart, a collaboration between the City of Berkeley's Public Health Department and Lifelong Medical Care.
