What is chronic disease management?

Chronic disease management includes services to diagnose, treat, and manage a range of diseases that require ongoing medical care for a year or longer, such as:

• Asthma
• Arthritis
• Obesity
• Diabetes
• Osteoporosis
• Heart disease
• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Health Meets Wellness provides comprehensive chronic disease management services for adults aged 18 and over through an annual concierge membership plan.  

Why would I need chronic disease management?

Chronic diseases can become life-threatening and lead to disability or premature death without proper management.

The Health Meets Wellness team provides on-site diagnostic testing, integrative wellness evaluations, and customized treatment plans to help you manage symptoms of a chronic disease and prevent related complications.

The team also provides preventive screenings for those at risk for certain diseases due to their genetic history, lifestyle, age, and medical history. Preventive screenings help identify signs of disease before you experience symptoms. This ensures you can get the early treatment you need before the condition worsens.

What can I expect during a chronic disease management consultation?

During your initial chronic disease management consultation at Health Meets Wellness, you meet with your physician, dietician, and health coach for their signature wellness evaluation. They work together to review your medical history and establish your wellness goals.

The team completes a biometric assessment and physical exam, orders laboratory testing, and supervises strength testing. Based on your test results, the specialists customize a care plan using medications and other strategies to keep a chronic disease well-controlled in the long term.

Because many chronic conditions result from lifestyle choices, the team also focuses on helping you make necessary changes that lower your risk for disease complications. They provide:

• Customized weight loss programs
• Holistic health coaching
• Nutritional counseling
• Personalized nutrition programs
• Recommendations for dietary supplements
• Personalized exercise and strength training programs

Members also have access to a digital platform that contains meal plans, recipes, and other resources that support your wellness.

The team can meet with you in-office and through the online telemedicine platform to monitor your progress with treatment. They can also address any new symptoms that develop and answer any questions you have about your treatment plan during your follow-up visit.
