TCA Health Nationally Recognized For Its Commitment To Improve Cardiovascular Health

TCA Health has received three American Heart Association outpatient program achievement awards in recognition for its commitment to reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke by improving high cholesterol, Type 2 diabetes and blood pressure management. The awards recognize a commitment to following the latest evidence- and science-based care guidelines.

Nearly half of all adults in the U.S. have some form of cardiovascular disease, including heart attack, stroke or heart failure.[1] High cholesterol, Type 2 diabetes and uncontrolled high blood pressure are leading risk factors for cardiovascular disease, but with timely diagnosis, research-based treatment and education, these conditions can be managed.

The outpatient achievement award programs put the unparalleled expertise of the American Heart Association to work for hospitals nationwide, helping ensure the care provided to patients is aligned with the latest evidence- and research-based guidelines. As a participant in the Target: BP, Check. Change. Control. Cholesterol., and Target: Type 2 Diabetes programs, TCA Health was recognized after demonstrating how their organization has committed to improving risk factor management for patients.

This year, TCA Health received these achievement awards:

  • The American Heart Association’s Check. Change. Control. Cholesterol™ Gold
  • The American Heart Association’s Target: Type 2 Diabetes℠ Participation
  • Target: BP™ Silver recognition jointly presented by the American Heart Association and the American Medical Association.
