Helping you manage chronic health conditions

Managing many chronic health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and HIV often requires additional health care services and professionals. We develop a customized care plan for you based on your particular health condition and its severity. In addition to regular medical checkups and medication, our internal medicine professionals provide referrals to specialists, both inside our system and outside, and diagnostic testing to monitor your progress.

Asthma

Asthma is a chronic lung condition that makes it difficult to temporarily breathe. We treat asthma with medication such as inhalers and help to identify triggers that can help you manage your symptoms.

Hypertension

High Blood Pressure

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is when the heart has to work too hard to move blood around the body. We prescribe medications, recommend lifestyle changes, and, if needed, refer patients to more specialty care and services.

Diabetes

Diabetes is a condition where the body cannot regulate how much glucose (sugar) is in the blood. We treat diabetes with medications, suggest lifestyle changes, and offer referrals as needed to in-house specialists.

HIV/AIDS

HIV is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system that, left untreated, can turn into AIDS. Our Ryan White Medical Case Management Program provides care and social services to individuals living with HIV/AIDS.
