Diabetes Rehab Program
Diabetes is a serious health problem that can lead to heart disease, kidney failure, amputation, blindness, impotence and a host of other serious complications if left untreated. It is the sixth leading cause of death by disease in the United States. The key to successfully managing diabetes, is finding a healthy personal balance — learning to control your blood sugar levels through a combination of good nutrition, exercise and sometimes medication.
Our unique Diabetic Rehab Program is the first in the United States to offer a comprehensive inpatient approach to Diabetes Care. The program is directed by our board-certified endocrinologist who will tailor an individualized program for rehabilitation, medical management, education, nutrition and exercise counseling. The patient in the program will benefit from our clinical assessments and screenings in collaboration with the patients personal or referring physician to ensure the highest level of diabetic care and treatment during the patients stay. Our experienced diabetes educators will teach the patient how to retain control of the disease so the patient can take charge of your diabetes and enjoy a higher quality of life.
