Mosaic Health Earns National Recognition for Multiple Efforts to Improve Patient Cardiovascular Health

Mosaic Health has received three American Heart Association outpatient program awards in recognition for their commitment to reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke through improving high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, and blood pressure management.

Nearly half of all adults in the U.S. have experienced some form of cardiovascular disease – including heart attack, stroke and heart failure. Leading risk factors for cardiovascular disease include high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, and uncontrolled high blood pressure, but through proper risk factor diagnosis and treatment, heart disease and stroke can be prevented or managed.

To improve quality of care and help people learn to manage their risk factors around high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes and/or blood pressure management, Mosaic Health participates in the following programs:

“Mosaic Health is honored to be recognized by the American Heart Association for our quality care and dedication to providing our patients with the resources to manage risk factors and hopefully reduce or avoid preventable heart conditions such as heart attack and stroke,” said Dr. Cynthia Jones. “Programs like the ones that address the real-world problems of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and uncontrolled type 2 diabetes are necessary to improve the health of our patients today and avoid larger problems for many of them in the future.”

This year, Mosaic Health received the following achievement awards:

  • Check. Change. Control. Cholesterol™ Gold Status

  • Target: Type 2 Diabetes℠ Gold Status

  • Target: BP™ Gold+ recognition from both the American Heart Association and the American Medical Association (AMA)

“Addressing blood pressure management is key for better cardiovascular health – and critical today since heart disease and strokes continue to be a leading cause of death for Americans,” James Langabeer, Ph.D., FAHA, volunteer expert for the American Heart Association and Professor and Vice Chair of Emergency Medicine with McGovern Medical School at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth). “We are pleased to recognize Mosaic Health for their commitment to managing the risk factors for patients around critical risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes.”
