In a new blog, Bob McNellis, AHRQ’s Senior Advisor for Primary Care, shares how AHRQ research and data, from projects such as EvidenceNOW, and the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project, will continue to support HHS’ Million Hearts® national strategy focused on preventing one million heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular events by 2022.

AHRQ is one of many Million Hearts® collaborators from the federal, state, practice, and community levels. Read the blog now.
