What to expect

You walk in. We take care of the rest.

We check your blood pressure, blood sugar, and other key markers. It takes about 15 minutes. Your health coach explains what your numbers mean in plain language, answers your questions, and if something needs attention, helps you figure out the next step.

You do not need to be sick to come. Most people we see feel perfectly fine. That is exactly the point.

A neighbor’s story
“I came to the farmers market for vegetables and left with my life. My blood pressure was 182/110. I didn’t feel anything wrong. The health coach found it and got me to a doctor the same day. Six months later, I’m on medication and my numbers are normal.”
Karen, 64 · Mattapan

Most people who come in feel fine. So did Karen. Bring someone you love. A parent, a neighbor, a friend who keeps putting it off. Fifteen minutes. No cost.

If something needs attention

We do not send you home with a number.

If your readings are high, your health coach stays with you. We explain what the numbers mean. We help you reach a doctor, or find one if you do not have one. We follow up.

I've been coming to screenings for two years. My health coach helped me understand my medications, helped me find a doctor when I didn't have one, and checks in on me every few months. In Haiti, we don't go to the doctor until we're dying. Now I understand prevention.
