Part 2 Health is what we don’t have!
A systemic approach to address the harm of Social Determinants of Health
Wednesday, January 19
12-1PM
1 CHES Credit/1 CPH Credit Available
Description:
People say that they want health, but if you watch their behavior, you will conclude that they will soon need care. Care may be inevitable, but health is a choice we must make every day. However, there are obstacles in achieving health, so we must find ways to counteract the concerns that predictably block our path. Like anything of value, health requires knowledge and action. This presentation will discuss the need for personal accountability and a strong partnership with Healthcare to achieve positive outcomes for both individuals, families, communities, and Healthcare.
Learning Objectives:
• Explore why we don’t have health.
• Explore the consequences of thinking that we do have health.
• Identify principles and actions to guide health.
• Describe a new function that will improve population health.
