May is National Blood Pressure Education Month!

While nearly one in three Americans have hypertension, almost half of health center patients are hypertensive*. This is just one example of the disparity between the general population and the communities served by health centers. But it is also an example of the important role health centers play as the first line of defense against their communities’ health issues. Health centers personify preventive care and know that by effectively managing chronic conditions they can identify risk factors early and achieve better outcomes. All at a lower cost while improving both clinician and patient experience.
