Good Health: It's more than health care
Your Health: Good health - it's more than health care.
It's an illusion that access to health care translates to a healthy population. While health care is necessary, it is often insufficient in leading to good health. Too many resources are devoted to treating versus preventing diseases. Should we just accept the fact that about half of the population will succumb to preventable diseases like diabetes, or is it time to rethink health care and focus resources on prevention?
Join Dr. Dean Sienko, MSU associate dean for Prevention and Public Health, for an unconventional and thought-provoking medical talk at the Your Health Lecture, at 7 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 24, in the Reynolds Recital Hall.
The event is free and open to the public.
