Chronic disease management

Professional nursing follow-ups, all across the Province of Quebec

Our veteran nurses are experienced in dealing with chronic disease: they are used to dealing with such situations in CLSCs. Monitoring patients, compliance with the treatment plan, teaching and prevention are just some of the many tools in their arsenal.
