Here’s what some clients have said about our Chronic Disease Management program:
“I didn’t know that I wasn’t using my inhaler medication right. After my nurse care manger explained how to use my inhalers right, I changed the way I use my inhaler. I can breathe so much better now! I’m losing weight because I can be more active without being short of breath.”
“My nurse care manager explained how to get a peak flow meter and how to use an asthma action plan. Now I feel more confident that I know how to manage my asthma.”
“I knew that stress and smoking made my asthma worse, but I didn’t know what to do about it. I was able to work with my nurse care manager on stopping smoking and stress management. I can breathe so much better, and I have more energy to do the things that I like to do.”
