Community Hypertension Management for High Blood Pressure
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The Live Healthy Chicago (LHC) Community Pilot is a prospective, community-based study evaluating the feasibility, effectiveness, and economic impact of a pharmacist-led hypertension management program delivered in trusted community settings on the West and South Sides of Chicago. Adults with uncontrolled hypertension will be identified and enrolled through community-based organizations, where a mobile clinical team-including community health workers, a pharmacist, and a registered nurse-will provide blood pressure screening, medication management, health education, and care coordination over a 3-month period. The study will assess participant engagement and acceptability, changes in systolic blood pressure. This pilot aims to address disparities in hypertension control by improving access to care in underserved communities and informing scalable, community-based models of chronic disease management.
