About This Location
The Kaweah Health Specialty Clinic Center is now open with a goal to reduce the number of hospital readmissions attributed to inadequate self-care. The Center will initially focus on cardiac disease and diabetes teaching self-management and expand to include respiratory illnesses such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma.
The Center engages chronically ill patients in an active partnership to equip and support them in making informed choices. By teaching patients with chronic illness self-care monitoring techniques, and collaboratively managing them alongside their referring physicians, the Kaweah Health Specialty Clinic Center helps patients take charge of their health issues and improve their quality of life.
Primary care physicians and cardiologists may refer patients who would benefit from learning better self-care.
