Chronic diseases disrupt the lives of 1 out of 10 Americans, or about 25 million people, and frequently are accompanied by various co-morbid conditions. The increased incidence of these conditions is recognized as a national health priority and accounts for roughly 78% of all health care spending in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control.1
