Chronic Disease Management Services

Your first visit may take up to one and a half hours. You will be seen by a chronic disease nurse who will work with you to:

- review your medication and blood tests
- set small goals that you can achieve and help problem-solve issues that matter to you
- provide information on group health education

The chronic disease nurse will discuss the need for follow-up care.
