hello world!
"Quality of Life" is defined as the standard of health, comfort, and happiness experienced by an individual or group. At Paragon, we know that each patient faces a unique set of obstacles related to their condition, symptoms, and therapy.
Our goal is to empower our patients to take charge of their health by learning practical ways to manage their condition. Whether you are a patient, caregiver, or family member, we have tools and resources available specifically focused on quality of life.
As the healthcare industry shifts to focus on patient experience, physicians and providers alike are recognizing that happy and healthy patients are the sum total of a positive physical, mental, and emotional state. Quality of life is a term used to encompass more than just a patient’s physical symptoms from their health condition.
The CDC states, “Health is more than the absence of disease; it is a resource that allows people to realize their aspirations, satisfy their needs, and to cope with the environment in order to live a long, productive, and fruitful life.”
Quality of life asks questions like, “Does the patient perceive that their life is going well?” This question must take into account a person’s joy and grief, housing, employment, relationships, and overall sense of well-being. These factors are not easy to measure since well-being is a subjective concept, but these areas are critical to painting a picture of an individual’s quality of life.
We are rolling out a brand-new project that focuses on the quality of life of our patients. We specialize in treating patients with conditions that fall under:
We believe that given the right tools and resources, patients can make small, positive changes that will increase their quality of life. For each category of conditions, we are assembling and developing resources to empower patients to live their life to the fullest.

We attend and participate in 100+ events annually, all focusing on getting to know the communities we serve.
