High blood pressure is known as the silent killer. If left untreated, it can lead to stroke and heart attack. Nationally, only about 55% of people with high blood pressure have their blood pressure under control. At KPMAS, your efforts year over year have helped more than 90% of our members with high blood pressure stay under control!
At KPMAS, we have been #1 in the entire nation for the last 4 years straight in controlling high blood pressure (<140/90 mm Hg) for our members. We are committed to improving clinical outcomes for our members and helping to decrease their risk for cardiovascular disease. In comparison, our next closest regional competitor only ranked #41 in the nation while KPMAS has consistently demonstrated our clinical excellence at the #1 spot!
