Chronic diseases and conditions are the leading cause of death and disability in the United States. Approximately 80% of older adults have at least one chronic disease.
As part of our commitment to providing exceptional quality care for our patients, our healthcare providers at Mayflower Medical Group apply a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) approach to help patients manage their conditions. We believe that it is the most effective way to care for our patients who suffer from chronic diseases.
CDM is an integrative and comprehensive method that employs screening, check-ups, monitoring, coordinating treatment with other healthcare providers, and patient education.
The benefits of the chronic care approach for many of our patients include: better health, increased quality of life, and decreased healthcare costs.
What Are Chronic Diseases?
Chronic diseases are ailments of the body with persistent symptoms that impact a person's general health and daily life. Even with treatment, some disorders do not go away on their own, and they are typically distinguished by their gradual development.
These chronic conditions can lead to life-threatening situations, and proper chronic care management from a reputable healthcare provider is essential to improve the health outcomes of chronically ill patients.
Some of the conditions that we help our patients manage through our CDM services include, but are not limited to:
- Anemia
- Arthritis
- Asthma
- Cancer
- Chronic kidney disease
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Clinical depression
- Congestive heart failure
- Coronary heart disease
- Diabetes mellitus
- Heart failure
- High cholesterol
- Hypertension
- Obesity
- Osteoporosis
- Sleep apnea
If you are suffering from a chronic disease or condition, we can help you manage your illness and improve your quality of life.
