| September 19th - Health Equity Committee MeetingIn 2019, the American Heart Association (AHA) identified the Hmong and Native American communities in hypertension crisis and placed BP kiosks in those communities for 3 years. Access to measuring BP in a trusted place, potentially from peers, was meeting the community where they are to address hypertension. The MN AHA team was the first to engage behavioral health centers in the BP control program, an innovative strategy being replicated in other sites. Join us at this upcoming meeting to learn more about the incredible work that is being done! |
