Providence Health Plan and the American Heart Association have partnered to launch a cardiovascular health initiative in underserved communities in Oregon and Washington. The initiative, called Embracing Community Care, will provide self-measured blood pressure programs in 20 community organizations and clinics over three years. The program will provide blood pressure measurement kits, education, and resources to help individuals monitor and improve their blood pressure numbers. This initiative aims to raise awareness about high blood pressure, especially among populations at higher risk, and ultimately improve cardiovascular health in the Pacific Northwest. They are also addressing food insecurity through the Stocking Healthy Pantries initiative.
