Chronic Disease Management

At Altaire Clinic we provide care to individuals who suffer from chronic health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder and believe through preventative treatment, close monitoring, and management, patients with chronic conditions can look forward to positive health outcomes.

Chronic disease can result in significant complications if it’s not properly managed. Disease management can help a patient to control health issues that could become severe if not monitored and given proper attention. When correctly managed, the care a patient receives can improve their overall health. When a chronic condition is diagnosed, our medical professionals can help a patient develop a comprehensive treatment plan that focuses on improving their health and meeting their wellness goals.

We can provide treatment for the following chronic conditions:

  • Asthma
  • Depression and Anxiety
  • Diabetes
  • Hypertension
  • High Cholesterol
  • COPD

And many other conditions.

Pediatric Care

At Altaire Clinic, we offer well-child checkups and treatment for newborns to teenage patients. We believe that pediatric health comes from early intervention when a child is hurt or sick, preventative medicine, and regular checkups. Our conveniently located clinic provides treatment for minor injuries and ailments, routine exams, health screenings, immunizations, as well as sports physicals.

Weight Management

At our health clinic in Fargo, a patient can find personalized, compassionate care. Our basic health care services for patients also include medically supervised well-rounded weight loss programs that take a natural, comprehensive approach to help you lose weight and keep it off.

Our weight management program utilizes a combination of behavioral lifestyle changes, physical activity, medication assistance, and dietary changes to help a patient lose weight and keep it off.

While most programs mainly focus on calories in and calories out, we understand that there is so much more to losing weight and managing weight loss. Weight can be affected by behavioral, environmental, psychosocial, metabolic, and genetic factors, among others. Because of this, we treat each patient as an individual and do our best to understand each patient’s unique environmental, social, and medical history when creating their comprehensive weight loss plan.

Nutrition Counseling

Nutrition counseling will focus on your nutrition and health goals, good versus bad foods, dieting, and body image. At an initial assessment, we’ll go over all of these topics and more, and discuss how the foods you choose play an important role when it comes to managing your health. We can help you in developing and maintaining your health goals and provide a personalized plan that’s tailored to your lifestyle, based on your goals, diet preferences, busy schedule, and more.

Patients seek nutrition counseling for many reasons, including digestive disorders, celiac disease, weight management, cancer, bariatric surgery, high cholesterol, and more.
