Chronic Care Q&A

What Is a Chronic Disease?

A chronic disease is a long-term medical condition that typically lasts a year or more and often requires ongoing care. While most chronic conditions can’t be cured, they can be effectively managed with regular monitoring, healthy lifestyle changes, and a personalized treatment plan.

Chronic illnesses affect people of all ages and backgrounds. Risk factors often include tobacco use, poor nutrition, physical inactivity, and excessive alcohol consumption. Without proper care, chronic conditions can worsen over time and lead to serious complications.

What Conditions Does Chronic Care Treat?

At Lakeview Family Medicine, we provide comprehensive chronic care for a wide range of conditions, including:

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
Chronic high blood pressure forces the heart and arteries to work harder, raising the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage. Routine monitoring and medication can help keep it under control.
High Cholesterol (Hyperlipidemia)
When excess cholesterol builds up in your blood vessels, it can form dangerous plaques that increase your risk of heart disease. Managing diet, activity, and medications helps reduce this risk.
Hypothyroidism & Hyperthyroidism
Thyroid disorders affect your metabolism, energy levels, and mood. Whether your thyroid is underactive or overactive, proper diagnosis and hormone management are essential.
Diabetes
This common condition affects how your body processes blood sugar. Without treatment, diabetes can lead to nerve damage, vision problems, heart disease, and more. With the right care plan, it’s manageable and often preventable.

We also care for conditions like COPD, arthritis, asthma, heart failure, and others—supporting you through long-term health challenges with individualized care.

What Does Chronic Care Involve?

Our team tailors chronic care plans to each patient’s needs, focusing on early detection, lifestyle support, and long-term health.

Your care may include:

Routine health assessments and lab work
Medication management
Nutrition and exercise counseling
Coordination with specialists when needed
Mental health screening and support

By combining regular checkups with healthy habits and the right medications, many chronic conditions can be controlled—and in some cases, significantly improved.

If a condition progresses beyond primary care, we’ll help connect you with trusted specialists in our community.
