It's more important than ever that patients with long term health concerns work with their doctor to protect their health and prevent complications from their illness.

• Our providers encourage patients to learn as much as possible about managing their illness. Patients who participate in our Partnership for Health Program, receive important information at each visit about their progress toward personal goals.
• Chronic diseases like diabetes, asthma, heart disease and high blood pressure, and other serious long term illnesses, need frequent monitoring and evaluation to ensure that patients remain as healthy and productive as possible.
• Our diabetic and hypertensive patients are scheduled for return visits every three months, or more frequently, as needed. Routine diagnostic tests are ordered periodically to monitor the patient's progress and help the provider design the best treatment plan for the patient.

If you haven't thought about it in while, call today to schedule your annual check-up. Make sure you keep your three-month check-ups, they are just as important to keep you healthy and on track.
