The Million Hearts Cardiovascular Risk Reduction Model (MH Model) is currently accepting applications through September 10, 2015. The MH Model uses a randomized-controlled design to identify and test scalable models of care delivery that reduce Cardiovascular Risk. The MH Model offers financial incentives to providers who participate. 

We want to expand the types of practices taking part in the study to include a diverse set of populations. Enroll today to secure your spot in this important study! Act now – space is limited!
