keep care plans on track

If you’re trying to juggle the many moving pieces of your own care plan, or if you are helping a spouse, relative or neighbor manage a chronic condition or recover from injury or illness, a Care Coordinator just may turn out to be your new best friend. Care Coordinators are important members of your Primary Care Team. From scheduling follow-up visits, to answering questions about medication side effects, to connecting you with community services to help you stick with your care plan, Care Coordinators partner with your doctor/clinician to help you organize every step of your care plan. They keep your entire care team—including specialists, community providers, and hospital, home care and skilled nursing staff—up-to-date about your health. Most importantly, they take the time to make sure that you really understand your condition(s) and care plan, and guide you through steps you can do at home to Be Well. Stay Well.

THINK OF YOUR CARE COORDINATOR AS BOTH CHEERLEADER AND COACH. Together, you’ll make an awesome team working toward ways to help you win at wellness!
