Chronic Disease
Chronic disease research focuses on preventing and managing long-term conditions including cardiovascular disease, cancer (including palliative care), respiratory disorders, and arthritis. This field develops interventions for disease prevention, self-management strategies, and care coordination while examining social determinants and disparities. Researchers explore behavioral change approaches and integrated care models to improve outcomes.
Impact
The impact of this research extends far beyond individual patients. This work transforms health care delivery and finds novel solutions to help reduce the multi-trillion dollar annual cost associated with chronic disease in the U.S. alone. By developing patient-specific interventions, improving care models, and addressing root causes, researchers can reduce health inequities, enhance quality of life, and create sustainable health care solutions for the millions living with chronic conditions.
