Health Information

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) has been diagnosed in five million Americans. Living with Congestive Heart Failure can be managed. Universal Health Care has a free program for our members who have been diagnosed with CHF. Members who are enrolled will receive periodic calls from our nursing staff to reinforce the proper treatment plan and educate our members on the early signs and symptoms of CHF. The nurse will discuss:

      

•  Signs and symptoms
•  Daily weights
•  Medications and medication adherence
•  Following a low-sodium (salt) diet
•  Monitoring intake of fluids
•  Watching for fluid retention
•  Doctor appointments
•  Prevention of hospital admissions

If you are currently a Universal Health Care member who has CHF and would like to sign up for the Disease Management Program, please fill out the information provided in the link below. A nurse will call you to enroll you into the program.
