Abstract
One in four Vermont adults have been told they have hypertension. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, increases risk for heart disease and stroke, which are leading causes of death in the U.S. and in Vermont. Lifestyle changes that can improve hypertension may include changing eating habits. This project focused on improving patient management of blood pressure through education and outreach efforts in Hinesburg, VT.
