| Description | : | Why Health Care Must Change:
The most intractable health problems of today will never be solved without full recognition of how intimately our health is linked to our attitudes, emotions, thoughts, behaviors, social relations and economic status.
The science is clear. Who we are, where we live and how we think and behave can powerfully influence whether we get sick, how sick we get and how best to manage our illness.
We cannot send our thoughts and behaviors to one repair shop and our diseased organs to another. They flourish or perish together.
Health care should direct its energies toward treating the person, not simply the disease. The payoff will be healthier people, healthier communities, a healthier nation-at lower cost and with less stress on the system. To do otherwise is irresponsible.
The Mission of the Center for the Advancement of Health is to incorporate this view of health care into every aspect of health research, policy and standard medical practice. |
