APEX Health Services is Supporting Individuals with Chronic Illness

We are proud to share that on March 27, 2025 APEX Palliative Care was selected to participate in the HCCI & Elea Institute Innovation Award for Chronic Care Management. This Award program aims to assist Illinois-based programs that provide Palliative Care to expand and diversify services that assist in improving patient outcomes.

CCM services are designed to help patients better manage their health and avoid complications that can lead to hospitalizations or emergency care.

APEX Health Services will remain proactive in personalized support, which will include, but not limit our care to:

• Developing a comprehensive care plan tailored to each person’s goals and needs.
• Regular check-ins by healthcare professionals, either by phone or in person.
• Medication management to help patients take the right medicines safely.
• Coordinating care among doctors, specialists, pharmacies, and community services.
• Helping patients monitor symptoms and make healthier lifestyle choices, with availability 24 hours a day.

Without the appropriate clinical and medical support, chronic illnesses can become overwhelming — not only for patients but also for families trying to navigate appointments, medications, and the challenges of daily life.

Our continued focus for Palliative and Chronic Care Management patients will be:

• Improve health outcomes: By staying connected with a dedicated care team, patients are more likely to follow their treatment plans, detect problems early, and prevent unnecessary hospital visits.
• Empower patients: Education and regular communication help patients better understand their conditions and take an active role in managing their health.
• Reduce stress for families: Care coordination eases the burden of organizing appointments, obtaining refills, and keeping track of medical information.
• Enhance quality of life: With consistent support, many people find they can maintain independence longer, experience fewer complications, and enjoy a higher quality of life.

APEX Commitment to Chronic Care Management
