Chronic Care Education and Support
Akron Children’s Chronic Care Education and Support works closely with providers to ensure children with chronic diseases are taught the prevention and self-management skills needed to better participate in school and their community. The Center also supports community events to raise awareness about chronic illnesses.
Our services are guided by the Chronic Care Model to help children achieve self-management of their asthma and diabetes. A physician referral is required to receive these services.
