Chronic Disease Management

What is chronic disease management?

Chronic disease management is a comprehensive approach to caring for conditions that require ongoing medical attention. These conditions often develop gradually and can affect daily life if not properly managed. 

The goal of chronic disease management is to help patients control symptoms, prevent disease progression, and maintain overall health and independence while supporting long-term stability, comfort, and improved daily functioning through consistent, coordinated medical care that emphasizes prevention, early intervention, patient education, and ongoing provider support to promote better long-term outcomes and quality of life.

At Advanced Healthcare & Injury Center, LLC, chronic disease management focuses on proactive care rather than reactive treatment. Dr. McCants and Dr. Edwards work closely with patients to create individualized care plans that address medical needs, lifestyle factors, and long-term wellness goals.

Which conditions can chronic disease management address?

Chronic disease management may benefit individuals living with conditions such as:

• Diabetes
• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Heart disease
• Arthritis
• Chronic pain conditions
• Autoimmune disorders
• Metabolic disorders

Managing these conditions often requires regular monitoring, medication management, and lifestyle adjustments. Ongoing care helps reduce flare-ups, hospital visits, and long-term complications.

Am I a candidate for chronic disease management?

You may be a good candidate for chronic disease management if you have a condition that requires continuous care, regular follow-ups, or coordinated treatment between providers. Patients who struggle with symptom control, medication adherence, or lifestyle changes often benefit from a structured management plan.

Dr. McCants and Dr. Edwards begin with a comprehensive health evaluation to understand your medical history, current symptoms, and risk factors before developing a personalized plan.

What can I expect from chronic disease management care?

Your care plan may include regular check-ins, medication reviews, lab monitoring, and guidance on nutrition, physical activity, and stress management. The team focuses on education and support to help you feel confident managing your condition day-to-day.

Follow-up visits allow your providers to track progress, adjust treatments, and address concerns as they arise. This ongoing relationship helps ensure your care evolves with your health needs.
