The National Forum’s 2026 Mid-Year Virtual Convening on hypertension will highlight strategies to raise the priority on blood pressure management, clinics and communities that have achieved significant improvements in hypertension control, innovations that strengthen our hypertension treatment arsenal, and ways we can join forces to reduce the human and economic burdens caused by uncontrolled hypertension.
- Hypertension is the U.S.’s most pervasive cause of debilitating and deadly health conditions.
- Hypertension costs the U.S. over $200 billion. Every year.
- Nearly half of American adults have hypertension. Only about 3 in 10 people have it controlled.
- Preventing hypertension and improving blood pressure management would prevent heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease, cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer’s disease—it would make America healthier.
- We have proven clinical practices, tools, and public health interventions to manage high blood pressure and reduce hypertension. But these proven solutions are not being used widely.
Together, we can take down hypertension.
Sessions:
1) Leveraging Innovation – Using AI, EHRs, standardized protocols, and new treatments to improve hypertension control
2) Leveraging All of the Players – Empowering healthcare teams to implement evidence-based care and enable patients to participate in controlling their blood pressure
3) Incentivizing Success – Aligning financial incentives with better hypertension control
4) Connecting the Pieces – Bringing health systems, payers, employers, innovators, clinicians, patients, and community leaders, together to end fragmentation
