This Virtare Cares story comes from one of our Medical Assistants, Olivia, who spends much of her time working on-site taking vitals for our members.
Erica is a patient with whom Olivia noticed a drastic change. Her blood pressure used to be really bad.
This is one of her readings from May 2022: 170/117 – 81, 170/127 – 80.
After relaying the readings to the nurses on-site and our Clinical team, we helped get her blood pressure under control. By contacting the doctor and fixing her doses of medications and/or adding a new prescription her blood pressure improved from May 2022 to August 2022.
This is her reading from the beginning of the month of August: 134/77- 72, 121/72- 80.
We’re grateful to have been part of Erica’s health journey and thankful to our team for the great work they do to support patients and providers!
