Chronic Disease Management Q&A

What is Chronic Illness Treatment?

Chronic disease management is an area of primary health care that focuses on ongoing support and treatment for patients with long-term illnesses. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), six in 10 Americans suffer from a chronic illness, and four in 10 suffer from more than one chronic health problem.

The CDC defines a chronic disease as an illness that lasts a year or more and requires long-term treatment or limits your daily activities or both.

The purpose of chronic disease management is to:

  • Control symptoms or flares

  • Prevent progression of a chronic condition

  • Maximize your quality of life

  • Reduce potential complications

  • Lower associated risks for developing other conditions

Dr. Tamon strives to support you and your family as you learn to live with your symptoms and remain as healthy and active as possible throughout your life. She believes that a chronic disease should not rule your life, and comprehensive management can help ensure that it doesn’t.
