What is a Chronic Disease?

If a condition or ailment lasts longer than a year or more and requires ongoing medical care, it is classified as a chronic disease. Chronic diseases not only limit the mobility and quality of life for a person, but they are often expensive to treat.

According to the CDC, chronic diseases are the leading cause of the high health care costs in the United States, with a total of $3.8 trillion annually. Our facility takes many forms of payment, including Medicare, when you use our services to help you deal with your chronic illness.

What are the Most Common Chronic Ailments?

• Heart disease
• Cancer
• Diabetes
• Arthritis
• Asthma

• High Blood Pressure

What is the Best Treatment?

Depending on your ailment, we are happy to provide services for you including laboratory work, minor surgical procedures, sports medicine, x-rays, or hormone therapy.

In addition to treatment, we can also assist with preventative care. If you have Medicare, you are eligible for an IPPE ( Initial Preventative Physical Exam) once during the first year or 12 months of enrollment in the Medicare program at no cost.

How Do I Prevent Chronic Illness?

To prevent some potentially debilitating or fatal diseases, you should take advantage of our immunization services. We provide immunizations for Shingles, HPV, HEP A, HEP B, and more.

Your lifestyle can play a pivotal role in avoiding chronic disease. A good diet, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking or excessive alcohol use can make you less susceptible to most cancers, heart disease, or diabetes.

You should also know your family's health history. Being aware of hereditary diseases can allow you to take extra precautions. Our facility can help you stay up-to-date with related screenings and tests.
