Description
The sick care model that is prevalent in the United States healthcare system impedes the promotion of lasting health and wellness. This approach to healthcare diverts our attention from the upstream factors of health and wellness which are the pillars of a healthy person and society. We have not only an ethical duty to improve the health of every individual in this country but also an obligation to the economic and social stability of our communities.
