By joining Target: BP, we've committed to improving our community's blood pressure control rate - one patient at a time. We're proud to be recognized by the American Heart Association and American Medical Association with a Target: BP Silver achievement award. "National recognition at the local level is important because it shows our patients that we take our role as their health care home to heart," said Dr. James Dickman. "Improving blood pressure control requires a multidisciplinary effort, but when we work together and stay committed to best practices, we can help our patients live longer, healthier lives."
