Conditions We Treat
Bethel Skilled Health Care provides support for a range of metabolic, cardiovascular, wellness, and preventive health concerns. Understanding common contributing factors can help patients recognize when professional evaluation may be appropriate.
We treat the following conditions:
Obesity
Obesity is a chronic health condition involving excess body fat that can affect overall health. It may be influenced by genetics, eating patterns, physical activity, medications, and certain health conditions.
Overweight
Being overweight means having a body weight above the range generally considered healthy for a person’s height. Weight changes may be associated with dietary patterns, physical activity, genetics, medications, or metabolic changes.
Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body does not use insulin effectively, resulting in elevated blood glucose levels. Risk can increase with excess weight, physical inactivity, family history, age, and insulin resistance.
Prediabetes
Prediabetes occurs when blood glucose levels are higher than normal but below the diabetes range. It is commonly associated with insulin resistance, excess weight, physical inactivity, family history, and metabolic health concerns.
Hypertension
Hypertension is persistently elevated blood pressure that may increase cardiovascular health risks when unmanaged. Blood pressure can be affected by genetics, sodium intake, weight, physical activity, stress, medications, and certain medical conditions.
High Cholesterol
High cholesterol occurs when cholesterol levels in the blood become elevated and may increase cardiovascular risk. Diet, genetics, physical inactivity, weight, medications, and certain health conditions can influence cholesterol levels.
Fatigue
Fatigue refers to persistent tiredness or reduced energy that may have physical, emotional, or medical causes. Poor sleep, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, medications, chronic conditions, and other health concerns may contribute to fatigue.
Vitamin Deficiency
Vitamin deficiency occurs when the body does not receive or retain enough of a particular vitamin. It may result from inadequate dietary intake, absorption problems, certain medications, or specific health conditions.
Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome involves a combination of health factors associated with increased cardiovascular and Type 2 diabetes risk. It may involve obesity, insulin resistance, elevated blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol levels, and physical inactivity.
Preventive Health Needs
Preventive health needs involve routine care intended to identify health risks and address concerns early. Age, family history, lifestyle, existing conditions, and individual health risks can influence which preventive services may be appropriate.
