• Description:
  The Hypertension Control Challenge recognizes clinicians and health systems that have excelled at controlling blood pressure. The Hypertension Control Champions use evidence-based strategies to achieve exemplary blood pressure control rates in their practices. As of 2017, CDC has recognized 83 clinicians, health care practices, and health systems as Million Hearts® Hypertension Control Champions for achieving blood pressure control rates of at least 70%.
  
  This handout highlights the work of two solo practices, Holly R. Dahlman, MD, of Green Spring Internal Medicine, Lutherville, Maryland, and Mark Backus, MD, of Cascade Internal Medicine Specialists, Bend, Oregon. These Champions successfully implemented processes to monitor and track patients’ blood pressure while simultaneously forming partnerships with patients to help them keep their blood pressure at a healthy level.
