MEDICAL GUIDE: Strawberry clinic launches chronic disease management program

Published 12:00 pm Thursday, February 13, 2020

Strawberry Wilderness Community Clinic introduced a chronic disease management program in January 2020.

Chronic disease management is an integrated approach to health care with a focus on managing chronic illnesses by assisting with preventative screenings, coordinating appointments and treatments, and patient education.

It is a proactive, organized set of interventions focused on the needs of a defined population of patients.

The appointments are scheduled once a referral has been sent by the patient’s primary care physician.

The chronic disease management program works closely with your primary care physician in coordinating the best care for you.

By coordinating your preventative care services, providing education and assisting with chronic illness management and tracking, we can help improve your health and well-being.

You will receive personal support from a clinical care coordinator.
