Chronic Disease Management at Mercy Wellness Clinic
Personalized Care for Long-Term Health Conditions
Chronic conditions require consistent, ongoing medical support. At Mercy Wellness Clinic, our family medicine providers partner with patients to monitor long-term health concerns, manage symptoms, adjust treatment plans, and prevent complications. Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been managing a condition for years, our goal is to help you feel supported, informed, and empowered to take control of your health.
Many chronic conditions progress slowly and may not show obvious symptoms at first. Regular follow-ups with a trusted provider allow for early detection of changes, timely medication adjustments, and ongoing lifestyle guidance. This proactive approach helps reduce risks, improve outcomes, and support long-term wellness.
Our providers deliver individualized care based on your unique needs, health history, and daily routine. With convenient locations in Spring Branch, Boerne, and Alamo Ranch, Mercy Wellness Clinic makes it simple to access reliable, long-term care close to home. We welcome new patients and work with most major insurance providers.

What Is Chronic Disease Management?
Chronic disease management is an ongoing partnership between you and your healthcare provider to monitor long-term conditions, reduce symptoms, prevent complications, and improve overall health. Conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, asthma, thyroid disorders, and high cholesterol often require regular evaluations, lab testing, medication management, and lifestyle support.
Our family medicine team focuses on building long-term relationships with patients, allowing us to understand your health history and how your condition affects your daily life. This helps us tailor your treatment plan, monitor progress effectively, and provide the support you need to stay motivated and informed.
Managing chronic conditions is not about one-time treatment. It is about consistent care, communication, and steady adjustments that lead to lasting health improvements.
Chronic Conditions We Manage
Mercy Wellness Clinic helps patients manage a wide range of chronic conditions. Our family medicine providers offer comprehensive support through regular checkups, lab work, medication management, and preventive guidance.
Below are some of the conditions we manage most often.
Diabetes
Diabetes management involves more than checking blood sugar. It requires ongoing evaluation, treatment adjustments, and support for healthy lifestyle habits.
We focus on helping you understand your condition and maintain consistent control over time.
High Cholesterol
High cholesterol can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke, but it is manageable with early detection and ongoing care.
We work with you to implement heart-healthy changes that improve long-term outcomes.
Asthma
Asthma requires careful management to prevent flare-ups, maintain lung function, and reduce symptoms.
We help you recognize patterns, understand management strategies, and reduce long-term complications.
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
High blood pressure is one of the most common chronic conditions and often develops without noticeable symptoms. Regular monitoring helps prevent complications and improve long-term health.
Our goal is to help you achieve and maintain healthy blood pressure levels through personalized care.
Thyroid Disorders
Thyroid conditions can affect energy levels, mood, weight, heart rate, and overall wellness. Regular monitoring helps ensure your treatment stays effective and balanced.
Treatment plans are tailored to your symptoms, lab results, and long-term health goals.

-
Allergies

FAQs
Chronic conditions can raise many questions about follow-up frequency, testing, and long-term management. These common questions provide guidance on what to expect at Mercy Wellness Clinic. If you need additional help, our team is always available.
1 / How often should I follow up for chronic condition management?
Follow-up frequency depends on your condition and current treatment plan. Many patients are seen every three to six months, but some conditions may require more frequent visits to ensure effective monitoring and medication adjustments.
