Statements & Search Criteria Mission To prevent premature death and disability resulting from strokes, heart attacks and kidney failure due to hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia among the uninsured and under insured. Background In 1983, the Richmond City Health Department (RCHD) began to recognize the research regarding the prevelence of high blood pressure in the young African American male. The RCHD then approached a group of physicians from the MCV Hospital in Richmond. They decided to create a separate organization that would have the sole purpose of reaching-out to the community generating awareness about blood pressure control and to treat those without insurance. The original offices of the Richmond Area High Blood Pressure Center were located on the corner of Broad Street and Lombardy Street. After 5 years of operations in that location, it was decided to relocate to a larger space at 1200 West Cary Street near Morris Street. When they first moved the operation, the board decided to lease the upstairs to students. After one year of having the new building, there were too many patients. The board ended the leases and began a capital campaign to buy the building and open administration offices upstairs, creating vital patient rooms. The Center has now been operating for over 26 years quietly serving the uninsured. In the late 1990s the rising trend in obesity rates and diabetes offered an opportunity for the Center to expand services. Today, the Center offers care for high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol and provides a host of free education programs to the community. Impact In the past year, we have added two new volunteer cardiologists to our team. We now have cardiology clinic twice a month. We have expanded our education efforts to three other sites and attended 50% more outreach events. Our clinic services to the community again expanded, this time an additional 6%. Thanks to our volunteer pharmacists, we have increased pharmacy visits by more than 100%. Finally, we renovated the patient rooms with the help of local Anthem employees. We could not have done it without them. Needs Despite federal health care reform being passed, the health care needs of today's uninsured still weigh heavy. To continue to offer care and be sure donors know our clinic is still vital to the community, we need operating funds. We need to continue to pay the few staff who drive our model of care and recruit volunteers. Also, we always need more volunteer physicians and mid-level practitioners. To help our practitioners better coordinate care and improve care, we are trying to get electronic medical records. It will require funds and the right partner to make the transition to electronic records possible. It is also time for us to upgrade our medical equipment. We need new blood pressure testing equipment, glucose monitoring equipment and an ECG machine. For anyone in a position to help our organization with any of these important needs, please contact the director - Dave Baldwin. CEO/Executive Director Statement The Center for High Blood Pressure operates as a physician supervised and nurse-run medical facility. Through our 11 volunteer physicians and our paid nursing staff, we provide annual physical exams, laboratory testing, ECGs, medication management, patient education and prescribe medications. Our services help prevent more serious complications like heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure and even death. This is a non-invasive metabolic syndrome clinic where patients are seen by a medical provider an average of 5.5 times per year. We often receive referrals of complicated and challenging cases of hypertension and diabetes. The combined years of experience and expertise in medicaiton therapies, nephrology, and extensive focus on education our patients are provided make the Center a wonderful medical facility for chronically ill uninsured patients. The Center staff and volunteers have extensive knowledge of complimentary free or inexpensive services available to patients who may qualify. This raises the potential for our patients to be successful in thier care plan. The higher number of visits with our patients allows the nurse team to keep the patient engaged in their care plan. Any measures we can take to prevent catastrophic events in our patients removes unnecessary cost and personal suffering to the health care system and the patient. We keep hardworking parents at home working and supporting their families. 2
Board Chair Statement Joining the CHBP Board of Directors in 2005, I wanted the opportunity to use my experience as an attorney and health care administrator to help people in our community. Being a part of an organization that is directly responsible for helping prevent catestrophic health events has given me a perspective of health care that many never see. The needs are many and the resources to meet those needs usually fall short. Every year is a struggle, but worth every effort. Giving back by helping to lead this vital component (the Center) to the health care safety net is more rewarding than I could have imagined before volunteering. This is an exciting time in health care and it will take strong leadership and a host of comitted volunteers to help guide this organization into the future of health care. The Center, like other free clinics, emerged to fill unmet needs and gaps in health care. We already know there will be a need to evolve the organization. We are always looking for talented volunteers to add to our team. We are looking forward to the future of health care in our community. - Brent Rawlings Areas Of Service Areas Served Areas Metro Richmond Tri-cities Region Richmond, City Ashland Chester Chesterfield County Colonial Heights, City Dinwiddie County Goochland County Hanover County Henrico County Hopewell, City Petersburg, City Powhatan County Prince George County Sussex County Charles City County King and Queen County Lancaster County Louisa County Mathews County New Kent County Southside Virginia More than 80% of the patients we serve live in a zip code that is part of Richmond City.

Organization Comments Over the next few years, our organization will have to continue to diversify the donor base and reach more individual partners for funding. Despite federal health care reform, clinical service demands will increase until 2014. In order for the organization to maintain a strong fiscal position, we will need new donors.
