What is chronic care?

Chronic care is the ongoing health intervention you need to manage your chronic health condition. Chronic diseases are illnesses that last a year or more, cause symptoms that affect how you live your life, and require ongoing medical care and monitoring.

Though some chronic health issues go away, most are with you for life. When left unmanaged, these long-term diseases may lead to other health complications. 

Tru Medical Management is an adult primary care practice that provides chronic care management. This includes continuous support and comprehensive care planning to help manage and coordinate care for chronic conditions with the nurse practitioner on-site.

Who needs chronic care?

Anyone with a chronic disease needs chronic care management at Tru Medical Management. The providers specialize in diagnosing and treating many common long-term illnesses, including diabetes, hypertension, and respiratory conditions like asthma.

They also manage heart health and have specialized services like cardiology, podiatry, and gastroenterology to care for specific health issues.
