The trigger was the cessation of Posbindu activities since the beginning of the pandemic. This condition makes people less concerned about measuring blood pressure and screening for hypertension. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out activities aimed at encouraging public awareness to seek health services in the context of efforts to prevent hypertension. Activities are carried out through health education, with lectures and discussions online and offline. The training target is people of productive age (15-49 years), consisting of 25 adolescents and 20 parents (fathers and mothers). The results of the activity show that there is an intention of public awareness to measure blood pressure and health checks at Posbindu (62%), at the nearest Health Center (33%), and hospital (5%). So it can be said that the purpose of this community service activity has been well achieved. The hope is that this activity can positively impact changing healthy lifestyle behaviours for the local community. Keywords: health education; hypertension; prevention; stimulation.
