Heart & Blood Pressure Health Employer Toolkit
According to the American Heart Association, nearly 50% of American adults have high blood pressure. Many don’t even know it. High blood pressure can lead to heart attacks, strokes, and other debilitating conditions if left uncontrolled.
This toolkit gives you information to promote heart health and help your employees learn how to manage their blood pressure.
Blood pressure monitoring equipment is offered to eligible commercial members who have been diagnosed with hypertension at no or a reduced cost. For more information about their benefits or to determine if they are eligible, have your employees contact Quartz Customer Success at (800) 362-3310.
