Chronic Disease Management
Chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and mental health conditions often require ongoing medical care to prevent complications. At Saravit Direct Health in Portland, OR, we’re dedicated to helping patients effectively manage chronic diseases with compassionate primary care and sustainable lifestyle changes that may even reverse some conditions. Led by Dr. Siatta Dunbar, our direct primary care clinic (DPC) offers comprehensive, personalized care for a flat monthly subscription fee.
What is Chronic Disease Management?
The ongoing care and treatment of long-term health conditions is known as chronic disease management. Some common chronic diseases include:
-
Diabetes
-
High blood pressure/hypertension
-
High cholesterol
-
Mental health conditions
-
Heart disease
-
Obesity
-
Asthma
Our services and patient-centered approach focus on preventing complications and improving quality of life. This includes regular monitoring of your condition and suggestions for positive, sustainable fitness, nutrition, sleep, and stress management changes. We understand that no two patients are alike. Your chronic disease management program is tailored to meet your specific needs and goals.
This proactive, whole-person approach invites collaboration between our healthcare providers and patients. Our doctors and health coaches can help you set goals, track your progress, and modify treatment as needed. For example, patients with diabetes often need regular monitoring of blood glucose levels, nutritional counseling, and medication adjustments.

Strong Patient-Doctor Relationships
Chronic disease management is most effective when there is trust and collaboration between patients and their doctors. We strive to foster relationships based on open communication, mutual respect, and shared decision-making to empower patients to actively participate in their care.
Cost Transparency and Savings
Even if you have insurance, traditional healthcare systems often involve high out-of-pocket costs for consultations, lab tests, and medications. At Saravit Direct Health, most of these costs are either included in your monthly membership fee or offered at a reduced price. This affordability makes it easier for patients to adhere to their treatment plans without financial strain. We’re happy to answer any questions you may have about our DPC model and monthly memberships.
Customized, Convenient Care
We offer custom wellness plans focused on whole-person care and your long-term health. Our DPC Clinic also provides inclusive, comprehensive, primary care, diagnostics, and specialty services, all under one roof. Unlike traditional primary care practices, our DPC clinic offers easy access to your physician via phone, text, or email, and same-day or next-day appointments are usually available.
