Congratulations to the team at Richmond Center on Tompkins Avenue right here in Staten Island. The 372-bed skilled nursing facility, which has a five-star rating for staffing, 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.
