    Putting People First: Prioritizing Hypertension Care Across Sectors

    Hypertension (high blood pressure) affects nearly 50% of working-age adults in the United States. Hypertension is a hidden business risk to employers—undiagnosed and uncontrolled hypertension leads to lost productivity, poor health and well-being, and higher healthcare costs. Hypertension is treatable, and employers are an important catalyst for change to promote equitable well-being for their employees and communities.
