Chronic Disease Management
Chronic Disease Management at Faith Family Health Care
Chronic diseases, also known as noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), are medical conditions that last for an extended period of time and often progress slowly. These conditions can significantly impact a person's physical and mental well-being, as well as their overall quality of life.
At Faith Family Health Care, we understand the challenges and struggles that come with managing chronic conditions. That's why we offer Chronic Disease Management (CDM) services to help our patients live healthier and more fulfilling lives.
Examples of Chronic Diseases
Some common examples of chronic diseases include:
- Diabetes
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Cardiovascular disease
- Asthma
- Arthritis
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Cancer
These are just a few of many chronic diseases that our team at Faith Family Health Care can help manage through our CDM services.
What's Included in Chronic Disease Management Care?
Our comprehensive CDM care includes:
- Regular check-ups to monitor the progression of the disease and adjust treatment plans accordingly
- Medication management, including education on proper usage and potential side effects
