Preventable Deaths

My message is the development and widespread use of health care consisting of health promotion and disease prevention coupled with the appropriate use of medical care; both working together. Recent data shows the U.S. lagging 16 other high income countries in the incidence of preventable deaths. This speaks to the need for a health system that prevents health problems plus identifies and treats health problems. We have a long way to go.
