About Us

Mission

Advancing the health of Canadians by enabling the detection, prevention and control of high blood pressure and its complications.

Vision

Healthy blood pressure for every Canadian.

Mandate

Hypertension Canada delivers against mission/vision by striving for excellence in three core service areas:

  • Research: Knowledge generation through research and innovation.
  • Education: Knowledge translation by turning discovery into practice.
  • Government & Stakeholder Relations: Creating supportive environments through healthy public policy and life

Strategic Plan

  1. Be the trusted voice for hypertension and cardiovascular risk.
    1. Make HC’s website the single, authoritative point of contact for healthcare professionals and the general public, to get guidance and information on hypertension.
    2. Build partnerships with like-minded organizations (e.g., Heart and Stroke Foundation, Canadian Cardiovascular Society) such that HC provides all of their hypertension content in return for attribution.
  2. Obtain baseline data on blood pressure health in Canada and develop a tracking system to monitor trends over time
