Partnership improves hypertension outcomes in Southern Arizona, highlighting the role of health centers and departments.
Federally qualified health centers and local health departments in three Southern Arizona counties formed a partnership in 2023 to address unrecognized and undertreated high blood pressure in the region. By augmenting primary care infrastructure with the surveillance, communication, and policy functions of local health departments, the partnership seeks to improve population health outcomes by sharing clinical best practices, increasing community awareness, enhancing connections to primary care, and coordinating public health department strategic activities.
