The care management program at Community Care Physicians is designed to help our patients who have complex health problems.

Care management refers to a comprehensive suite of services and activities that help patients with chronic or complex conditions manage their health. Care management’s overarching goal is to improve patient health and make navigating healthcare easier.

Assistance is available for our patients who are coping with health issues, a new diagnosis, or an acute, short-term problem. Our care managers are there to ease the pressure and confusion.

Regular support calls can make it easier to live with a serious health problem, helping you to understand your condition and learn how to manage it. Coping with a health problem can be less overwhelming when support and education are just a telephone call away.

Our care managers will work with you and your healthcare provider. They can also offer referrals if needed. They can help you deal with issues that arise and refer you to programs and services that may make your life easier.
