Chronic Disease Management
If you have a chronic condition, such as diabetes, high blood pressure or asthma, your primary care provider will help you to develop a personal care plan.
- Diabetes Support: We have a diabetes team composed of a coordinator and navigators who walk alongside our patients struggling to control their diabetes to provide support, remind them of necessary screening measures, and connect them with resources.
- Chonic Conditions: For patients with asthma, obstructive lung disease, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure and other chronic conditions, our primary care providers partner with specialists who have extensive experience in the management of these illnesses.
- Lifestyle Medicine Class: This class helps prevent or reverse chronic disease by teaching on nutrition through whole food plant based cooking demonstrations, exercise, and social connection.

A team of Esperanza doctors directly oversees the care of our adult patients admitted to Temple University Hospital, and will be pleased to evaluate and treat you there in conjunction with Temple staff and specialists, should you require hospital care. At the time of discharge, Esperanza doctors will coordinate your discharge and arrange follow up visits with your Esperanza primary doctor and care team.
