Horizon Healthcare Earns Target: BP Silver+ Recognition for Another Year
Horizon Healthcare has once again earned the Target: BP Silver+ Achievement Level, a national recognition presented by the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American Medical Association (AMA). This continued achievement reflects the organization’s ongoing efforts to help patients manage high blood pressure and reduce their risk of serious cardiovascular complications.
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is one of the leading risk factors for heart disease and stroke. Through its participation in the Target: BP initiative, Horizon Healthcare works to strengthen blood pressure management practices and support better long-term health outcomes for the patients and communities it serves.
The Target: BP program brings together healthcare professionals and organizations to improve blood pressure control through proven, evidence-based approaches. The Silver+ Achievement Level recognizes Horizon Healthcare’s work in accurate blood pressure measurement, timely intervention for patients with uncontrolled blood pressure, and engagement in additional strategies that promote cardiovascular health.
“Receiving this recognition again is a testament to our team’s continued dedication to providing quality care and helping our patients take an active role in managing their blood pressure,” said Marla Lafikes, MD, Medical Director. “We are proud of the work our team does to support healthier lives and reduce the risks associated with high blood pressure.”
By continuing to prioritize effective blood pressure management, Horizon Healthcare reinforces its commitment to preventive care and to improving the health of the individuals and families it serves.
