Working together with physicians is a cornerstone of the LifeMasters program. We support and reinforce the relationship our program participants have with you in the management of their chronic conditions. The goal of the LifeMasters program is to encourage and empower patients to take greater responsibility for their health, better manage their conditions and comply with your treatment plan.

Founded by David E. Goodman, MD, LifeMasters offers programs for individuals with diabetes, congestive heart failure (CHF), coronary artery disease (CAD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) hypertension and asthma (all of which are fully accredited by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) and URAC) and musculo-skeletal pain.   LifeMasters’ programs are holistically focused and support co-morbidities such as depression and facilitate lifestyle changes such as smoking cessation and weight loss. Several peer-reviewed studies have been published that demonstrate the value of LifeMasters program for managing chronic conditions.¹,²
