Health Promotion Council of Southeastern Pennsylvania, Inc., a nonprofit corporation, was founded in 1981 to implement community-based hypertension education and control programs. Known then as Southeastern Pennsylvania High Blood Pressure Control Program and funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, it was as part of a national hypertension control effort organized by the National Heart Blood and Lung Institute (NHLBI). When NHLBI disease control efforts broadened to include cholesterol and tobacco control, HPC took on these additional disease prevention concerns and changed its name accordingly.Our core values are:Addressing DiversityHealth disparitiesServices that are culturally responsive & sensitiveBarriers in languageFocusing on CommunityInitiatives and outcomesHealth literacyCurrent innovative health research that translates for community needsMaintaining IntegrityTrustQuality of lifeSocial responsibility & community healthToday, Health Promotion Council is a nationally-recognized organization reaching more than 40,000 individuals on an annual basis through programs and services in three areas:Direct serviceCapacity-buildingPolicy and systems change
