This Commonwealth Government funded program supported people with a chronic condition to access resources and develop a self-management plan to - you guessed it - keep them healthy longer. While the pilot program has come to an end, we are making available the resources and information developed by the KHL team during the program. This publication will help people find programs and services related to their condition. HOME BACK NEXT In partnership with 4 WHAT IS A CHRONIC CONDITION?
