Physician Corner: Chronic Disease 101 July 20, 2010

Seven of every 10 deaths each year in America are due to chronic diseases, making them among the most prevalent, costly and preventable of all health problems. High-quality prevention measures that
promote a healthy lifestyle, such as screenings and appropriate follow-up, are essential to avoid years of illness, pain and disability. Join Thomas Gilberts, M.D., board certified internal medicine
specialist, and member of the Tuality Healthcare medical staff and administrative team, for an overview of chronic disease and steps that you and your healthcare provider can take to maintain the quality of your life. He will also discuss how to
make the most of your doctor appointments.
