New U.S. Health and Human Services Awards Funding to Help JeffCare Battle Hypertension With Smart Technology

The Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently announced a funding award for JPHSA’s JeffCare.

This HRSA funding is designated to help improve health outcomes of people with high blood pressure. JeffCare’s hypertension initiative focuses on supporting engagement with prevention and treatment, including the use of self-measured blood pressure monitoring devices supplied at no cost to those who qualify. Remote monitoring technology for these devices will also be incorporated into the electronic health system. This new initiative keeps JeffCare at the forefront of utilizing health tech to help the citizens of Jefferson Parish.

Flu Vaccine Critical During COVID-19

Getting an annual flu vaccine protects your family and community from the flu any year. But this year, JPHSA urges you to pay particular attention.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, reducing the overall burden of respiratory illnesses is important to protect vulnerable populations, the healthcare system, and other critical infrastructure during the COVID-19 pandemic. Everyone who is eligible should receive the vaccine, especially essential workers and those at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19 and/or influenza complications.

Protect yourself by contacting JPHSA’s JeffCare Health Center at 504-838-5257 in Metairie or 504-349-8833 in Marrero.
