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.

Care. Support. Positive Outcomes. Centers Health Care.
Centers Health Care provides rehabilitation, skilled nursing and long-term care for people with a wide range of needs. Whether someone is recovering from surgery, managing an illness or simply needs more support than can be provided at home, our staff is there to help.
The goal is not exactly the same for everyone. It may be returning home, becoming stronger, staying independent or simply feeling better and more comfortable from one day to the next. There will be progress, setbacks and difficult days along the way. Our job is to be there through all of it, and to help each patient or resident get as far as he or she can.
Sometimes that progress comes in large steps. More often, it comes in small ones. Either way, every step matters.
Our Steps to Home series follows patients through rehabilitation and the journey from hospital to home:
