Disease management

The Diabetes Care Center offers a range of disease management services that can be tailored to meet patients' needs. The disease management program is led by nurse practitioners, dietitians and nurses who specialize in diabetes care. An off-site medical director provides support as needed.

Once a referral is received, the patient will be scheduled for an initial assessment appointment. Follow-up care is provided in an individual or group setting, based on the patient's needs and insurance plan.
