FHN receives quality recognition from the American Heart Association!
FHN has been awarded BOTH the Gold+ and Silver Awards from the American Heart Association (AHA) for the Target BP program based on 2022 quality data! FHN received Gold+ (at least 70% of the adult population’s blood pressure is controlled) for all sites, except Cincinnatus, where we received a Silver Award (finished just under 70%). Providing excellent health care means keeping up with advancing treatment recommendations. By participating in Target: BP™, we help ensure our patients get the latest, evidence-based treatment to manage their blood pressure and lead longer and healthier lives.
FHN was also awarded Gold+ Awards for all FHN Health Centers for both Diabetes and Cholesterol management. The data submitted reflected impressive HbA1c control in patients, and exceptional ≥70% appropriate statin therapy use throughout our at-risk patient population. Preventing or managing diabetes and cholesterol can lead to longer, healthier lives by reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. By participating in Target: Type 2 Diabetes and Check. Change. Control. Cholesterol™, we help ensure that our patients get the latest, evidence-based treatment.
