What is our Center for Advanced Diabetes Care?

This program encompasses a physician panel which includes a nephrologist, a diabetologist, an optometrist, a podiatrist, a psychiatrist, a diabetic certified Nurse Practitioner, and a vascular surgeon in order to monitor and treat the co-conditions often present with diabetes. Interdisciplinary patient care involves nursing, dietary, therapy, and activities working together to coordinate each client’s specialized plan of care. We monitor our patient outcomes and have proven reductions in Hba1c, hospitalizations, skin breakdown, and infections. Follow-up care includes an on-site outpatient clinic which includes outpatient therapy as needed.

Why is Diabetes Care so important to us?

Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness, a major cause of premature death and disability, and is the primary cause of 70% of lower body amputations, just to mention a few statistics. With an 80% increase in the number of diabetics in the last 10 years and 2,200 people diagnosed with diabetes each day, we feel that effective management of this disease is essential. Our Diabetes Program provides interdisciplinary patient care including our facility endocrinologist, nursing, dietary, therapy, and activities working together to coordinate each client’s specialized plan of care. We monitor our patient outcomes and have proven reductions in Hba1c, hospitalizations, skin breakdown, and infections.

What is Respiratory Care?

Our goal is to become the facility of choice for post-acute respiratory disease management.
