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 27 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 40% 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.
