Healthcare vs. Sick Care

What is your country’s healthcare system like? Just as there are many approaches to health, there are multiple healthcare systems around the world. In the United States, for example, the healthcare system is often viewed as a disease management system. Within this system, most healthcare resources are spent on managing chronic health conditions rather than promoting wellness and prevention. A growing number of health experts are calling for a new model of value-based healthcare  – one that emphasizes lifestyle medicine, holistic and patient-centered care, and disease prevention to lower healthcare costs and effectively reduce the rates of chronic disease. One way we can do this is through integrative medicine.
