What is chronic disease management?
A chronic disease is a condition that lasts for a year or longer and requires ongoing medical care. Chronic disease management describes health care services to diagnose, treat, and manage various diseases and disorders that affect your long-term health.
The Bethany Health Services team provides chronic disease management services to help you stay on top of chronic conditions like:
- Diabetes
- Thyroid disorders
- High cholesterol
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Chronic kidney disease
In addition to comprehensive diagnostic testing, Bethany Health Services provides customized care plans to address your existing and long-term health needs.
The team also offers resources to help you improve your overall physical and mental health, so you can better cope with chronic health issues.
When should I schedule a chronic disease management consultation?
You should schedule a chronic disease management consultation at Bethany Health Services if you already have a chronic disease diagnosis and need help managing your condition.
The team also provides preventive chronic disease screenings through their primary care services if you have risk factors for chronic health issues. Routine screenings are important because many chronic diseases don’t cause symptoms until the condition progresses.
Screenings help identify conditions like diabetes and high cholesterol in the earliest stages before you have symptoms, so you can get the treatment you need.
What happens during my initial chronic disease management consultation?
During your initial chronic disease management consultation at Bethany Health Services, the medical team reviews your personal and family medical histories. They also assess your lifestyle, diet, and medications you currently take.
The team performs a physical exam and notes important details about your health, including your height, weight, and blood pressure. They may also order blood work or other lab tests to learn more about your health.
Depending on the chronic disease you have, the team customizes a care plan that may include treatment strategies like:
- Weight loss
- Diet improvements
- Increased exercise
- Medications
You can expect to schedule follow-up appointments at Bethany Health Services so the team can monitor your progress with treatment. They can also make adjustments to your medications when necessary to keep your condition under control.
