ANCBH: Projects and Research

Community-based blood pressure screening, education, and referral program
The American Heart Association and the  Association of North Carolina Boards of Health (ANCBH) established in September 2022 a community-based blood pressure screening, education, and referral program in collaboration with local health departments in Guilford and Forsyth counties (Triad) to provide cardiovascular self-management options due to the lack of community education and wellness centers in communities. This effort addresses access to health promotion and cardiovascular disease prevention.  Read more about this successful project that deployed trained Lay Health Advisors and site leaders utilizing evidence-based practices and programs to assist with educating participants on health and wellness for improving health.
