resulting in an annual reduction of stroke, coronary heart disease, and all-cause mortality by 6%, 4%, and 3%, respectively (Halm & Amoako, 2008). Walsh et al. (2006) also found that even small reductions in high blood pressure have major impacts in clinical out comes and health care spending. Our project has dem onstrated the ability to reduce mean systolic blood pressure by 5 mmHg, indicating the potential to reduce stroke, coronary heart disease, and all cause mortality among program participants. This community based program effectively incorporates trained volunteers to promote sustainability of the program by reducing program costs and to benefit from
