Book a free 15-minute callChronic illness is the leading cause of death globally. The support system hasn't caught up.
"I have four different providers and none of them talk to each other. No one is looking at the whole picture."
We are the main point of contact for all of your providers. We keep treatments lined up and help your care team truly work together.
"People around me don't understand what living with chronic illness actually costs. I feel completely alone in this."
We connect people to online and in-person support groups where they can share with others who understand. Support groups help people feel less alone and more confident handling their health.
"I keep getting dismissed. My symptoms are real, but the system keeps treating me like I'm overreacting."
We help record your symptoms and speak up for the support and financial help you qualify for. We keep going when the system pushes back.

Chronic illness doesn't follow one set path. Our support is built around the stages most people go through. It's not about the disease. It's about the experience of living with it.
Newly Diagnosed or Newly Overwhelmed
Some chronic illnesses, like fibromyalgia, long COVID and rare diseases, often take years to diagnose correctly. We help people connect with the right specialists and speak up to make sure the full picture is known before a care plan is built. We also connect people with proven self-management programs and education that build confidence and ease worry.
Plan · HealActive Management Phase
Living with several chronic conditions gets complicated fast. Treatments and medicines can affect each other, and providers may give conflicting advice. We coordinate the whole care team to keep everything lined up. We also connect people with licensed mental health professionals who use methods like cognitive behavioral therapy to help with chronic pain, depression and anxiety. And we connect people to free support groups, online and in person, for diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, asthma, high blood pressure and fibromyalgia.
Plan · Grow · HealFlare, Progression, or Crisis
When a condition gets worse or a big flare-up disrupts daily life, we help you ask for changes to your care plan, put those changes in place and coordinate how providers respond. We also help people apply for financial help, including the PAN Foundation and disease-specific nonprofits, to cover the costs of ongoing treatment and medicine. Parents, spouses and other family members caring for a loved one with chronic illness carry real weight too. We connect caregivers with support groups and counseling so they can keep going.
Plan · HealCare coordination, mental health support and chronic illness support, all working together.
Chronic illness care involves many providers, medicines and insurance companies, and no one coordinates them for you. We are your main point of contact. We keep providers lined up and connect you with programs most people never find, like the Center for Chronic Illness, NCOA self-management programs and condition-specific resources, so you don't have to manage it all alone.
PlanLiving with chronic illness increases the risk of depression and anxiety. Caregivers supporting loved ones face their own health risks. We connect both with licensed mental health professionals, peer support groups, and the resources that make this work sustainable over time.
HealThe Triangle's chronic illness care network, and the programs most people never find.
The Research Triangle has strong specialists, chronic disease programs and support groups for many conditions. We help you connect with providers at the hospital you choose, close to home or at a center such as Duke Health or UNC Health, and with local programs that offer education, peer support and financial help. For people outside the Triangle, we work virtually and nationwide.
Help connecting with specialists for many chronic conditions wherever you get care, close to home or at a center such as Duke Health or UNC Health, with help preparing for and coordinating appointments.
Direct access to local support groups and chronic disease self-management programs in the Raleigh area, for diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, asthma, fibromyalgia and more.

Most providers handle one condition. We handle the whole picture, including how your conditions affect each other and what the system keeps missing.
Chronic illness is often brushed off. We record symptoms, speak up and push for the support people deserve, especially for conditions like fibromyalgia, long COVID and rare diseases, which are brushed off most often.
Support groups, self-management programs, financial assistance, community resources. Most people never find these until crisis. We know where they are and how to access them.
Chronic illness doesn't end. Our support can continue as long as you need it.
A starting point, not a substitute for real support.

mhanational.org/chronic-illnessChronic illness support covers what people with ongoing health problems really need: care coordination, support groups, counseling, help finding financial aid and someone to speak up when the system doesn't respond. It's not one service. It's whatever your situation calls for.
Yes. Support groups exist for many chronic conditions and are usually free. Groups meet online and in person. The Center for Chronic Illness and condition-specific groups keep lists, and we help people find and join the right group for their condition.
Living with several chronic conditions means working with several providers and treatment plans that may conflict. Care coordination brings it all together: keeping providers lined up, spotting conflicts between treatments and making sure your plan covers your whole health.
Financial help is available through the PAN Foundation, disease-specific nonprofits and government programs. Who qualifies depends on the condition, income and insurance. We help people find what's available and walk them through applying.
People living with chronic illness, and the families supporting them, are often managing far more than anyone around them realizes. The system wasn't built for this. We were.
