What is a ‘Chronic Condition’?
Chronic Disease Management at Upper Echelon
Consistent medical oversight is essential for conditions that are chronic, defined by the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics as lasting three months or more. These diseases are persistent and usually progress slowly. Many chronic conditions may exhibit few or no symptoms for years, making routine preventative care crucial for early detection. Through blood work and other routine screenings, we can obtain a comprehensive understanding of your health that goes beyond just how you feel.
Chronic diseases can be caused by a combination of genetic, physiological, environmental, and behavioral factors. Key contributors include lifestyle choices, environmental factors, age, genetics, and other socioeconomic factors --this is why our approach to chronic disease management is also multi-faceted. We take a comprehensive approach that includes lifestyle modifications, medication, regular monitoring, and patient education.
