As a cardiothoracic surgeon, I believe … ♦ The majority of patients I treat are suffering from preventable illnesses that have been ignored for decades. ♦ We don't have a true "healthcare" system in our country. ♦ Our $2.5 trillion industry is in fact a "sick care" enterprise. ♦ Over 80% of all maladies are self-induced and preventable. Let’s face it, together, we need to do a whole lot more to protect health and prevent illness and disabilities. Many businesses are also suffering from the consequences of misplaced healthcare priorities. ♦ Employee health insurance expenses are skyrocketing. ♦ US corporations lose in excess of $300 billion a year in illness and stress related disabilities, job absenteeism and disengagement.1 ♦ It is becoming increasingly difficult to compete in the global market with such a degree of financial and human capital drain. If you think the system is in need of a major overhaul, you are absolutely right! Such enormous waste of resources and capital is unwarranted. As a physician, I'm committed to and enthusiastic about doing my part in reversing this detrimental and risky course, both for individuals and for organizations. The company I founded, PreventionCare™, specializes in training individuals and organizations with goals of promoting wellness, vitality and productivity, while reducing stress and behavioral related illnesses and disabilities. Thank you for visiting PreventionCare's website. We continuously add useful information, interesting news and articles on stress, wellness and vitality topics. They can be found under "News & Articles" and "FAQ's" in the main menu. Khosro (Ed) Adib, MD, FCCP, SWC (C) 1- Source: The Gallup Organization |
