The goal of this clinical trial is to test if this team based program is better at helping people reduce their blood pressure than usual care for people with prior heart attack or stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do people in the REACH BP program have lower blood pressure at 12 months compared to those getting usual care? * Do people in the REACH BP program have better Life's Essential 8 scores and patient experience compared to those getting usual care?
