​Disease Management

Our Disease Management Program is designed to support patients with chronic and complex illnesses to reduce or manage symptoms and avoid unnecessary hospitalizations or re-hospitalizations. Our specially-trained teams of nurses, therapists, social workers, mental health clinicians and home health aides understand the challenges faced by patients with a chronic illness. We mobilize our specialized clinical resources to ensure each patient achieves and maintains the best possible level of independence and quality of life. 

Trained in chronic disease management, clinical teams of nurses, therapists, home health aides, life skills advocates, social workers and mental health clinicians provide specialized services to patients with a wide variety of chronic diseases including cardiac and pulmonary conditions, diabetes, stroke and cancer to ensure they achieve and maintain the highest level of functioning.
