Esperanza Health Centers, a Federally Qualified Health Center that operates four primary care clinics on Chicago’s Southwest Side, was recently named a 2019 Million Hearts® Hypertension Control Challenge winner by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This year, Esperanza is the only health center in Illinois, and only one of 17 in the nation, to receive this award. The Million Hearts® Hypertension Control Challenge is a competition to identify practices, clinicians, and health systems that have worked with their patients to achieve hypertension control rates of at least 80 percent. The Champions’ stories are intended to inspire other practices and health systems to focus on improving hypertension control, and the lessons learned and shared can offer a path to improved blood pressure control. Esperanza has joined the ranks of 118 Hypertension Control Champions who have demonstrated success in improving hypertension control among their patients since 2012.
