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 are thrilled to recognize nearly 1200 organizations in 2019. Be part of the 2020 Recognition Program by registering now.
