Chronic disease management is a program of care aimed at supporting your health and well-being when you have a long-term condition.
Chronic diseases last for many months or years. Some are lifelong. Lack of health care and poor management increases your risk of complications and hastens your decline.
With expert chronic disease management from the team at HAPI Medical Center, you could be healthier and happier and live far longer.
Any long-term health problem could benefit from chronic disease management, but ones the HAPI Medical Center team sees more than others include:
Some conditions, like high cholesterol and high blood pressure, don’t cause any symptoms. However, managing them properly prevents life-threatening consequences like heart attacks and strokes. In other cases, patients suffer continual pain and other distressing symptoms that require expert care.
HAPI Medical Center has specialist clinics for heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, behavioral health, and gastroenterology, as well as experts in primary care.
HAPI Medical Center’s chronic disease management programs provide comprehensive services, including:
Seeing your primary care provider regularly ensures they can monitor your health and deal with any issues promptly. Checkups include a physical exam, blood tests, blood pressure measurements, and a review of your current health.
When you have a chronic disease, it’s important to do everything you can to stay healthy in other ways. The HAPI Medical Center team uses preventive measures, such as immunizations, nutrition counseling, weight loss support, help to quit smoking, and stress management, to promote better health.
People with chronic diseases often take many medications. Reviewing your medicines regularly ensures you take the most suitable drugs at optimal doses and avoid unpleasant side effects.
Depending on your condition, you might need to undergo particular tests. For example, an electrocardiogram (ECG) for heart problems or a diabetic foot check if you have diabetes.
