Two University of Iowa researchers have been approved for nearly $18 million to help older adults with multiple chronic medical conditions better manage their hypertension.  

Korey Kennelty, the Patrick E. Keefe Professor in Pharmacy in the College of Pharmacy and the vice chair for research and implementation science in the Department of Family Medicine, and Carri Casteel, professor in the Department of Occupational and Environmental Health and director of the Injury Prevention Research Center in the College of Public Health, will test two team-based care approaches to manage high blood pressure in older adults. 

In the first approach, the patient will work with a health care team that includes nurses and primary care providers. In the second approach, pharmacists also will be part of the health care team.
