Posbindu PTM is one of the promotional and preventive health efforts that is implemented in an integrated, routine, and periodic, and the non-communicable risk factors that are found immediately refer to basic health care facilities. It is necessary to examine the role of Posbindu PTM in controlling hypertension risk factors. The study used a combination method approach with sequential exploratory design. Exploratory design was begun with the main qualitative method to know the knowledge, attitude and behavior of members of Posbindu PTM to hypertension. The results of qualitative and quantitative methods were analyzed to develop the Integrated Health Education Center for Non-communicable Disease/IHEC for NCDs (Posbindu PTM). People feel useful coming to Posbindu PTM, so want to come every month. The active community who came to Posbindu PTM increased their knowledge about Hypertension and non-communicable disease (PTM). The community who actively coming to Posbindu PTM supported the behavior of preventing and controlling of hypertension. Posbindu PTM can play a role in controlling hypertension for active members.
