Recognition Program

The Target: BP Recognition Program celebrates physician practices and health systems, who treat patients with hypertension, for achieving blood pressure control rates at or above 70 percent within the populations they serve. These achievements will ultimately lead to a reduction in the number of Americans who suffer heart attacks and strokes. The AHA and AMA acknowledged early adopters of this initiative, recognized over 300 organizations in 2017, and is thrilled to recognize nearly 800 organizations in 2018. Be part of the 2019 Recognition Program by registering now.

Gold Status

Recognizes practices that have 70 percent or more of their adult patient population with high blood pressure controlled.

Participation Status

Recognizes practices that have submitted data and committed to reducing the number of adult patients with uncontrolled blood pressure.
