Healthcare Today
Innovations in research, patient ownership in
their own care, and emerging technologies are
providing people tools to take wellness into their
own hands.
By Sondra Barr
T
he subject of health is a very personal one, which is why
we take it so seriously and feel so passionately about
safeguarding it and receiving the very best care we can
for ourselves and our loved ones. The system that we
have here in the United States, while imperfect, fosters
excellence and innovation in many areas, from the prevention of
illness through healthy living, to the diagnosis and treatment of
serious illnesses.
