Reveal barriers you haven’t been able to see before to build deeper, more meaningful relationships.


Current practices of telling patients with hypertension to eat better, exercise more, and take their medications have not been sufficient to move the needle on individual or population health.

Silver Fern’s Hypertension Program unlocks the reasons that patients are not following through on treatment plans with modules focused on medication management, home blood pressure monitoring, lifestyle management, and psychosocial issues that impact patients’ ability to effectively control their blood pressure.

The World Health Organization estimates that 1 in 4 men and 1 in 5 women have hypertension worldwide.~ Hypertension is a major risk fact for cardiovascular disease and stroke, but only 1 in 4 adults have their blood pressure under control.* The previous Surgeon General, Vice Admiral Jerome M. Adams, M.D., M.P.H., issued a Call to Action urging Americans to recognize and address hypertension control as a national, public health priority.^

By asking Silver Fern questions that I would not have thought of and working with members to set up realistic and achievable goals in their daily lives, ultimately that helps them set up routines that turn into a lifestyle over time and sets them up for success.
