WHAT’S YOUR DEFINITION OF WELLNESS?Definitions may vary, but a degree of wellness is attainable by every individual at any stage of life.That’s what a group of clinical and healthcare policy experts determined when they were asked to redefine wellness and to rethink the focus of our current healthcare system with an eye toward prevention. The group, assembled by Johns Hopkins and Healthways, was challenged to come up with ways to fix an obviously broken healthcare system. The resulting report, Embracing Health: Tools and Systems for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, points toward solutions, providing elements of a national preventive health system.
