Wellness

Here's a story about how members of the Changemakers community are helping to spread wellness practices in the United States:

Medical centers are always looking for new ways to deliver better, more affordable care.  The latest studies are showing that what goes on just outside the medical exam room can make the biggest difference.  If patients can learn to take on some of the management of their own health, their outcomes are better and costs are lower.

Many leading edge healthcare providers are beginning to hire “health coaches” to educate patients about their own health needs and to encourage them to take a more active role in their own care.
