El Paso County Health Centers
Disease Management Program
Disease management is an approach to healthcare that can help a patient learn how to manage a
chronic disease. It is the concept of integrating care, minimizing the effects of a disease or chronic
condition, and ultimately improving the lives of those being treated.
Disease Management at the El Paso County Employee Health Centers is a confidential, on-site
health improvement program, exclusively for El Paso County employees, retirees and dependents
enrolled in the El Paso County medical plan. You will have the opportunity to work one-on-one
with the Health Centers’ medical teams in lowering your health risks(s) such as type 2 diabetes,
coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, heart failure, asthma, emphysema and lower back pain.
The Disease Management Program at El Paso County Employee Health Centers is designed to help
you and your doctor work together in managing your chronic health condition – whether you have
been diagnosed by your own primary care physician, or you see a physician at one of the El Paso
County Employee Health Centers.
This program is 100% private, voluntary, and confidential. The services are provided by TakeCare
Health Systems, the manager of our on-site El Paso County Employee Heath Centers. You can be
assured that El Paso County will never have access to any individual health information from this
program.
For more information contact either the Health Centers at 520-7080 or 520-7600.
