Whole Health Personal Care Programs

Why This Matters Now
 

• Chronic disease rates are rising. A larger share of residents in the U.S. have chronic diseases compared to other countries, including over twice as many people with obesity (2.4 times the comparable country average), diabetes (2 times), and asthma (1.7 times), and an overall higher burden of depression (1.3 times). These differences in chronic disease prevalence also drive higher death rates and shorter life expectancy in the U.S.
   

• Medical systems are understaffed and overburdened. Health literate patients help to reduce nurse burnout and staff turnover, which improves patient outcomes by maintaining experienced nurses who provide consistent, high-quality care, reducing re-admission risk, and enhancing patient satisfaction.
   

• Patients must step up as advocates for their own care. Research has shown that self-advocates are more likely to receive better care and get their medical problems answered.

​

By enrolling in our transformative Whole Health Advocacy Program, you’ll learn the skills and knowledge needed to navigate the healthcare system with confidence and clarity.
