What Is Chronic Disease Management?
Chronic disease management at Modern Edge Family Practice in Albuquerque, NM is ongoing primary care for long-term conditions such as type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and thyroid disorders. Instead of short visits that only refill prescriptions, we build a plan with you, track your numbers, and adjust treatment as your health changes.
This care is part of our family practice and is provided by board-certified family nurse practitioners Ryan Asher, NP-C, and Sonya Walsh, FNP-C.
