HAPPY Service Locations:
HAPPY volunteers conduct blood pressure screenings at three New Haven community centers. Please click on each of the following links for direction and settings at each location.
Usually two to three volunteers are accommodated per shift. At least one of the volunteers should greet and ask community members to take a blood pressure reading. HAPPY volunteers should set up the information poster at a salient location to let the community center clients know of the free, weekly hypertension screening.
All HAPPY volunteers should be courteous to community center staff and be willing to help, such as serving food, cleaning up, and other duties you may be asked to do.
