Congratulations for taking a step toward managing your health by participating in the Southwest Center on Aging Chronic Care Management (CCM) program! Our goal is to make sure you get the best care possible from everyone that is involved with your care. Managing your health care can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. CCM is a new model of care designed to improve the coordination of your health care with an emphasis on your overall well-being. We believe that to achieve this goal there must be a partnership between the patient and their medical provider. By remaining involved in the decisions regarding your health, health care and lifestyle, we can develop a stronger relationship with you.
