What Are Chronic Diseases?
Chronic diseases are long-term conditions that require ongoing medical attention and management. They can impact various aspects of daily life and often require regular check-ups, lifestyle modifications, and treatment plans. Some of the most common chronic diseases include:
- Diabetes
- Asthma
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
- Arthritis
- Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia
- Cancers
- Cardiovascular Disease
- Iron Deficiency
- Strokes
If left unmanaged, chronic diseases can significantly affect a person’s well-being. However, when these diseases are addressed with proactive care and early intervention, many individuals can lead full and active lives despite dealing with a chronic disease.
Our Chronic Disease Treatment Plans
At Fitzroy North Doctors, we understand that every patient’s condition is unique—that’s why we create chronic disease treatment plans to provide structured care and support for every patient we handle.
Through a chronic disease treatment plan, our team can:
- Monitor and manage symptoms to prevent complications
- Provide lifestyle and dietary guidance for better health outcomes
- Coordinate care with specialists such as endocrinologists, cardiologists, and physiotherapists
- Offer medication management and reviews to ensure optimal treatment
- Support mental health and well-being for those affected by chronic conditions
Our team is dedicated to helping patients take control of their health by providing chronic disease care that is compassionate, proactive, and tailored to their needs.
Moreover, certain Medicare-subsidized plans, known as GP Management Plans, may also be available to people with complex and chronic medical illnesses that have persisted for more than six months.
