Bronx Center Achieves Gold Status

[Here, Bronx Center’s Administrator, Jeff Sicklick (holding the certificate) is shown here with his team, proudly demonstrating their Gold certificate, which recognizes practices that have 70 percent or more of their adult population with high BP controlled.]

Congratulations to the team at Bronx Center on Underhill Avenue and Bruckner Blvd. The 200-bed skilled nursing facility has been given Gold status under the American Heart Association Target: BP program for 2023. Target: BP is a national initiative formed by the AHA and the American Medical Association (AMA) in response to the high prevalence of uncontrolled blood pressure (BP). Target: BP helps healthcare organizations and care teams, at no cost, improve BP control rates through an evidence-based quality improvement program and recognizes organizations committed to improving BP control.
