Taking Control of a Chronic Condition with the I ACT plan

Arthritis. Back pain. COPD. Diabetes - the ABCs of chronic conditions. The list includes dozens of other diagnoses such as Alzheimer's, depression, and heart disease, as well as complications from cancer, surgery, or a stroke. Even health problems without a formal name - such as reduced mobility - can have the same long-term impact on daily life as the symptoms of a specific disease.

Chronic conditions require changes to your lifestyle, diet, and daily living. But you can take control of how you make these changes. And with time and practice, it can be possible to maintain or improve your quality of life with your condition.

Help Us Choose Home. com:
A Modern Grassroots Movement to support Home Care

As the debates about health care reform continue, one topic that continues getting more attention is the future of Medicare-funded home and hospice care. Considered to be critical to the successful treatment of the elderly, the acutely or chronically ill, and terminal patients, some sources worry that current plans don't do enough to ensure the future success of home healthcare.

So together in March 2009, the NAHC and the FSA launched HelpUsChooseHome.com. This website is the online home of a joint campaign that supports a four-year grassroots effort to raise awareness about the positive impact of home healthcare. It's also a platform to ensure home and hospice care quality is given full consideration in the movement to reform American healthcare.

If you believe in home healthcare, check out HelpUsChooseHome.com to learn more about how the NAHC and the FSA are working to ensure its future. We also encourage you to check out the NAHC to learn how this organization supports home health care availability, quality, and success nationwide.
