Nearly 80% of Black adults who have high blood pressure don’t have it under control, putting them at higher risk of heart attack and stroke. And we’re not okay with it. We’re also not okay with the systemic racism that often makes preventing and reducing high blood pressure more difficult for Black women. But we’re not just going to sit here and take it. The RTP Heart Health Squad will support you in protecting your mental health and overall well-being.
