Chronic Disease Management Specialist

What is a chronic disease?

A chronic disease is a health condition that lasts more than a year and requires ongoing medical interventions. Some of the most common chronic diseases in the United States include:

• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• Lung disease
• Cancer
• Kidney disease
• Alzheimer’s disease

Though there are many factors that lead to the development of a chronic disease, lifestyle habits are the main contributors. This includes poor nutrition, lack of physical activity, and use of tobacco products.

Because lifestyle is a major factor in the development of many chronic illnesses, lifestyle changes are one of the most important steps in managing these long-term diseases.
