• Description:
  The Federal Hypertension Control Leadership Council convened in 2020 in response to the Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Control Hypertension to make equitable hypertension control a national priority. Controlling hypertension can save lives, improve health and resilience, and reduce costs. The Council’s 12 founding federal agencies and offices work together to inspire, coordinate, and accelerate action to improve hypertension prevention, detection, and control for all.
  
  Hypertension—before, during, and following pregnancy—is on the rise in the United States. Hypertension in pregnancy not only jeopardizes the lives and health of both mothers and babies but raises their lifetime risk of heart disease and stroke, the first and fifth causes of death in the United States, respectively. Improving the timely detection and management of hypertension in pregnancy is an investment in health and prosperity for families, communities, and workplaces across the nation.
