Carepath Chronic Disease Program
Learning that you have a chronic disease, whether it’s an autoimmune condition like Lupus, Crohn’s disease or Rheumatoid arthritis or another health condition like diabetes, fatty liver or hypertension, can be overwhelming and difficult to process. While a diagnosis often brings relief by providing clarity about the cause of distressing symptoms, it also can mark the beginning of lifestyle changes. You may find yourself faced with unfamiliar medical terms, new appointments to navigate and changes that come with adjusting to a new routine.
For some, this may be the first step toward better managing a condition that has been known for years. For others, it represents the start of a new and sometimes challenging journey toward improved health. If only you had a knowledgeable and compassionate professional to guide you through this process.
Thankfully, Carepath Can Help
Our nurse case managers have 18+ years of experience in guiding clients through chronic diseases.
Navigating the healthcare system and finding the right treatment options for yourself, your spouse or your children can be challenging. Our team is here to help you build confidence when working with your healthcare providers. As your partner in health, we offer guidance on key questions to ask your care team and connect you with local support services. While we do not provide referrals, we are committed to guiding you throughout the process.
We can help you manage the emotional side, such as advising on how to share news with your family or employer and providing tips on coping with these big life changes.
Peace of Mind
In a time of uncertainty, we give you the peace of mind that comes with knowing you are getting the best information and advice from a reliable source. Our expert team can even help you interpret your medical tests or get a second opinion on your diagnosis.
What we offer
-
Our chronic disease support starts with a comprehensive assessment designed to help your nurse case manager gain a clear understanding of your diagnosis and your unique circumstances. This personalized approach ensures that we can tailor our support to best meet your needs and goals.
-
Then we set priorities based on your goals, personalized to you and what is going on in your life.
- Need to figure out how to share your diagnosis with your children or employer?
- Need to figure out how to get to appointments when you live alone?
- Need to know what options might be available in terms of working during your treatments?
We’ve helped clients figure out the answers to all of these questions and more.
-
Together we arrange regularly scheduled appointments so that that you have consistent care and a dependable plan, whether you need it for weeks or months. Most clients begin with consultations every week or two, then move to monthly as treatment normalizes. We can even just meet for a couple of sessions if all you need is a chance to chat and ask some questions. As our client, you guide the process and our clinicians are there to provide what you need.
-
Your treatment plan is confidential and tailored to your needs. You should know that we work for you and will not share information with your employer without your permission.
Many clients say that once they’ve connected with Carepath, they wish they had done so sooner. Even if you feel like your diagnosis is just something to live with, it’s worth reaching out to find out how you can live your best life in spite of your medical condition.
Anyone in the individual’s immediate family (including children aged 12-26 who are dependents and in school) can access our chronic disease support program.
