When the Center for High Blood Pressure treats the medically indigent, the entire community benefits:
-
We relieve the financial burden on the community by providing care to people who have chronic conditions, preventing inevitable and costly outcomes.
-
We provide prescription drugs for a nominal fee to people who need medications but could not otherwise afford them.
-
We teach people with chronic health problems how to manage their lifestyles to improve overall wellness. This means they miss fewer days from work and employers reduce health-related productivity losses.
-
We relieve the burden on full-service clinics by serving a targeted population with appropriate and efficient care.
-
We reduce costly visits to hospital emergency rooms by people who are uninsured.
-
We provide specialized care and free study medications for qualified individuals involved in our medically supervised research studies.
