Integrated care for diabetes
"You'd think I'd have recognized the signs of my diabetes, especially since my son has had it since he was 4 years old. But, I didn't. Thankfully, my Aurora doctor recognized them immediately. "That's because at Aurora, the doctors are committed to what they call Care Management – specific ways of treating ongoing diseases like diabetes, asthma, and heart disease. And they make it easier for busy moms like me to take care of ourselves. "In my case, I was assigned a diabetes educator and dietitian. And it's nice that I can go to any Aurora facility. That's worked out particularly well working with the dietitian. They assigned one closer to my work, while my family doctor is closer to home. "That's one of the advantages of being a patient at Aurora – they coordinate the care around me. They call it integrated health care, and it's made all the difference to me.” [ Return home ]
