with the patient's primary care provider, to provide
patient education and support the patient in making
lifestyle changes that are needed to successfully
manage their chronic condition and maintain optimum
health. As with all services at the health center,
Disease Management Services are offered in a respecful
and culturally competent manner. The three-person
