Chronic diseases are health conditions that may affect patients for an extended amount of time or may even persist throughout their life. Although some conditions may not be curable, we work with patients to control these conditions and to treat exacerbation (worsening of the condition) appropriately. We also work with your specialist to monitor your conditions.
Although chronic diseases can make life difficult, with proper management we can delay deterioration, improve function and quality of life. We do this through evaluation of the condition; recommending medications, nutritional plans, exercise, therapy; and referring to specialists.
