Chronic Diseases
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Chronic Diseases account for seven out of ten deaths each year and are the leading causes of death and disability in the United States. Holy Cross Hospital remains committed to keeping South Florida healthy. We encourage members of our community to be active participants in their health by learning about their chronic conditions, how to make healthy lifestyle choices and reduce risk behaviors. Chronic diseases are among the most common, costly and preventable of all health issues.
