<![CDATA[Hypertension remains among Indonesia's most prevalent non-communicable conditions and stands as a leading contributor to cardiovascular illness, even though public understanding of early screening is still limited. This community outreach initiative was carried out to offer no-cost health examinations while strengthening residents' knowledge of how hypertension can be prevented and managed, targeting the general population of Kelurahan Dalung in Cipocok Jaya Subdistrict, Serang City. Implementation followed a participatory model beginning with participant registration, continuing through height and weight measurement, blood pressure checks, and blood glucose and cholesterol testing, with health education woven into every stage of the process, carried out jointly with Posyandu Cempaka cadres and personnel from UPTD Puskesmas Banten Girang. Findings indicate that residents responded with considerable enthusiasm toward the screening sessions and came away with a stronger grasp of hypertension risk factors and prevention strategies grounded in the CERDIK framework. The program is envisioned as a contribution to sub-district-level early detection of non-communicable disease and as a template for lasting cooperation among higher education institutions, community health centers, and neighborhood health cadres.]]>
