The Million Hearts Initiative acknowledges two health systems for their effective strategies in managing high blood pressure among patients. This recognition highlights the importance of community efforts in chronic disease management.

The Million Hearts initiative launches the "Team Up. Pressure Down." program to enhance blood pressure control among Americans. This collaborative effort includes educational resources and tools for patients to manage their blood pressure effectively.

A new CDC report reveals that despite treatment, the majority of Americans with high blood pressure still struggle to control their condition. Millions remain untreated or unaware of their hypertension, highlighting a significant public health challenge.

The Community Preventive Services Task Force recommends team-based care for enhancing blood pressure control, citing strong evidence of its effectiveness. This recommendation could influence future healthcare policies and practices aimed at managing hypertension.

A CDC report reveals that two-thirds of U.S. adults with high cholesterol and half of those with high blood pressure are not receiving effective treatment, increasing their risk for heart attack and stroke. This highlights a critical gap in cardiovascular health management.
