Disease-Specific Expertise

What Is Disease-Specific Expertise?

Disease-specific expertise consists of a team of specially trained health care professionals—nurses, therapists, and physicians—with in-depth knowledge of specific chronic conditions. This expertise is applied to develop personalized care plans, effective symptom management as well as patient and family education, to help improve your overall quality of life.

This level of care goes beyond general treatment by focusing on the nuances associated with specific chronic diseases, including:

• Understanding disease progression.
• Implementing advanced symptom management techniques.
• Educating patients and caregivers on long-term strategies for managing a chronic illness to help improve quality of life.
