ISHIB Councils>>

In 2003 ISHIB developed disease/lifestyle councils designed to provide clear direction to ISHIB leadership in areas linked to hypertension and to create a structure within ISHIB for accomplishing the broader involvement of our experts and committed members. The ISHIB Councils roles and responsibilities include the following:

  • To address disease/lifestyle management, research, lay education, and advocacy areas
  • To develop core working groups around disease, research, lifestyle or health policy and promotion
  • To develop regional program content and delivery of needed professional education
  • To develop annual meeting content and themes
