Creating a New Model of Wellness: Focusing on the Whole Person Versus Health Risks
Presenter: James Strohecker, CEO, HealthWorld Online - Publisher, Healthy Update
December 3, 2008
Orlando, FL USA
Pre-Conference Workshop at Diabetes Disease Management 2008 (details below)
Our healthcare system tends to define "health" as the absence of illness, and "wellness" as simply the reduction of health risks. This perspective is based on a disease model. Yet, for 60 years the World Health Organization has defined health as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." This workshop focuses on implementing a new wellness model into the healthcare system that includes employee and physician wellness, professional burnout, as well as clinical applications. This workshop also examines how to create a positive state of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
