Living with a long-term health condition can affect your energy, routines, independence, and peace of mind. At James E. Race, MD, our Dallas internal medicine team takes time to understand the whole picture—not just one symptom or test result.

Coordinated Care

What Is Chronic Disease Management?

Chronic disease management is coordinated medical care for conditions that last a year or longer and require ongoing attention. Rather than waiting until symptoms become difficult, your care team monitors changes, reviews treatment, and helps you make informed decisions over time.

Medication and Treatment Review

Regular evaluation helps ensure your medications and treatments remain safe, effective, and appropriate.

Symptoms and Lab Monitoring

We monitor symptoms, vital signs, and test results to identify meaningful health changes as early as possible.

Preventive Follow-Up

Timely screenings, vaccinations, wellness visits, and follow-up care support your overall health.

Care Coordination

We help keep information connected between specialists, pharmacies, hospitals, caregivers, and your primary care team.

Personalized Care Plans

Your care plan can be updated as your medical needs, priorities, and long-term health goals change.
