Chronic diseases—such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and obesity—are among the most common, costly, and preventable of all health problems in The Bahamas.
At Family Medicine Center, we aim to empower individuals with chronic conditions by providing up-to-date health information, education, and support.
