Welcome to the Total Care Program

The Total Care Program provides telephone-based support for people with chronic or complex illnesses or conditions, including diabetes and heart disease. Total Care supplements the support of your doctor by helping you deal with things like stress, food and weight.

The aim of Total Care is to improve your overall health and quality of life with a host of services including:

• regular contact from an experienced Registered Nurse
• a phone-in service to our Registered Nurses for those unexpected questions.
• a comprehensive book on how you can live a healthy life with a Chronic Condition.
• links to websites for information and support about your condition

The Total Care program is designed for people who have conditions like:

• diabetes
• chronic pain
• neurological disease
• cancer/palliative care
• respiratory disease
• multiple medical conditions

How it works
