Asthma

Asthma is a chronic disease (one that cannot be cured) that affects the lungs. Asthma control is about more than just treating symptoms. It’s about managing your asthma so you have few or no symptoms.  Asthma can be controlled by medication prescribed by your doctor and by avoiding certain irritants.

COPD

COPD stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It's a term for a condition in which the airflow into and out of the lungs is reduced due to chronic bronchitis or emphysema, or a combination of both.

It is within a healthy range.  When you have diabetes, you have it for life. But there's good news—you can learn how to manage your diabetes and put your health back into balance.

Heart Disease

Heart disease is a number of abnormal conditions affecting the heart and its blood vessels. If not treated properly, problems with your heart can cause severe damage to your health — or even death. In fact, heart disease is the number one cause of death among Americans today. To improve heart health, you must also maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Hypertension

Having hypertension (high blood pressure) is one risk factor that can increase your chance of developing heart disease, stroke, and other serious conditions. High blood pressure is called “the silent killer”, often having no symptoms.  As a rule, the higher the blood pressure, the greater the risk. You can take steps to lower your blood pressure.
