Within the scope of the Family Health Strategy, the joint participation of the different segments of society and the effective performance of health professionals contribute to the implementation of actions to promote health and prevent injuries. The present study aims to propose an intervention plan to reduce the high incidence of patients with systemic arterial hypertension in the area covered by the José Santana Health Unit in the municipality of Pavão. To prepare the intervention plan, the health situation was diagnosed and the rapid estimation method was used to collect as much data as possible regarding the main health problems affecting the population in our area of coverage. To support the elaboration of the intervention, a bibliographic research was carried out in the databases of the Virtual Health Library to collect the existing evidence on the subject of this work. As a result, patients are expected to acquire knowledge and seek healthy lifestyles, notably in relation to eating, physical exercise and testing, acting in a preventive way and minimizing the symptoms of the disease through the search for better quality of life.
