What we do
Bringing Accessible Healthcare to People in Underserved Communities
Chronic Disease Management
A client with multiple chronic diseases carries a lot of physical and emotional burdens. The main concept of chronic disease management is to reduce the client’s burden, health care cost as well as to improve their quality of life by preventing or minimizing the effects of the disease through integrated care.
Health Coaching
As a health coach, we partner and encourage our clients to make positive behavioral lifestyle changes that would support and promote their optimal health outcomes. We help them set achievable goals by focusing on their cultural values, beliefs, and strengths, as we encourage the development of sustainable healthy behaviors and attitudes.
Care Management Referral Services
We assess and identify the clients’ social and environmental determinants of health and we make referrals to our service care partners to provide the necessary assistance needed to promote the clients’ wellbeing. We also collaborate with their health care providers. We track the clients’ referral process throughout the care continuum.
Preventive Care
No one should die from a preventable disease, yet millions of people are dying from preventative diseases every day. Providing preventative care reduces the risk of multiple chronic diseases, disabilities and death. We provide blood pressure screenings for ages 18 years and up, as well as counseling on healthy eating habits, and smoking cessation.
Who are we
Chasing Health Inc. is a FOR PURPOSE 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization that provides health care services to people in underserved communities in the Capital Region and in local villages in Edo State, Nigeria. We focus on hypertension, a preventable disease that is highly linked to many chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and Alzheimer’s/dementia. We serve the people by providing chronic disease management education, health coaching, preventative care through blood pressure screenings, and care management referral services. We work side by side with our clients by creating a two-way dialogue that allows the client and the healthcare providers to improve the client’s optimal health outcomes.
