Baltimore (March 17, 2025) – Additional Chase Brexton Health Care patients with hypertension will be able to access the organization’s program to assist them with their uncontrolled blood pressure, thanks to a recent grant.
The $50,000 grant from the Kahlert Foundation will expand access to Chase Brexton’s Self-Measured Blood Pressure Program for low-income adults with uncontrolled blood pressure. Chase Brexton patients will be able to join the program at the community health center’s Mt. Vernon, Columbia, Glen Burnie, and Security Square Centers.
The program provides patients with education about high blood pressure management and an interactive blood pressure cuff to help them check their blood pressure at home. The cuff syncs to the patient’s device, if applicable, and to their patient portal app; test results are automatically entered into their electronic medical records, where their healthcare providers can access them.
The Kahlert Foundation grant will be used for the purchase of additional remove blood pressure monitoring devices. Currently, 10,204 patients with hypertension across the four Chase Brexton centers; of those, 6,190, or 61 percent, have controlled blood pressure.
