One of Richmond's Best-Kept Secrets!

Welcome to the official web site of the Center for High Blood Pressure, formerly Richmond Area High Blood Pressure Center. We are a nurse-run, free clinic offering health care services to the uninsured citizens of Greater Richmond. For more than 28 years, the Center has been preventing Strokes, Heart Attacks and Kidney Failure by detecting and helping to manage hypertension among the uninsured population of Greater Richmond. Discovering that more than 30% of our patients also had diabetes and/or high cholesterol, we decided to begin treating these health issues as well.
The Center nursing staff, volunteer physicians and volunteer pharmacists see more than 800 different patients each year. Along with our community partners, we have been able to make significant improvements in the health of individuals who otherwise could not afford the care they need. This center is a model of medical service delivery that boasts some of the best rates of disease control in the state.

It is time to grow!
The Center's Board of Directors and our community partners decided to undertake an effort to grow our ability to see more patients and enhance how we do it. We are raising funds now to make our facility handicapped accessible, provide additional space for patient care, prepare our existing rooms for more general medicine and expand the available space for more volunteers. This will only be possible with the help of our community. Please contact Dave Baldwin at 804-359-9375 for more details and how you might help.
