This is another example of how community can determine health status. The community has a major influence upon health disparities and, of course, differences in economic well-being.
Optimum health is a philosophy; a way of life; a lifestyle. It means that you are commited to achieve the best health status possible for you, your family and your community. It means that your community is commited to health promotion and disease prevention.
