Abstract
Hypertension continues to be a prevalent condition in Washington County and throughout the state of Vermont, contributing to significant cardiovascular risk. Many individuals remain unaware of their blood pressure status, are less motivated to address moderately elevated readings, or do not engage in regular monitoring. These factors all give rise to suboptimal management. To address these challenges, this project implemented two interventions focused on the Washington County community and the CVMC Family Medicine – Waterbury clinic. A patient-facing blood pressure guide was developed and integrated into Epic for provider use, and a community education booth was held outside a local pharmacy. These initiatives aimed to increase awareness, empower patients to take an active role in blood pressure management, and provide practical, accessible guidance for those that were willing to make health-promoting changes.
