The
Healer Within Foundation Meeting the Challenge
Healthy
People 2010,
the US Department of Health and Human Services set of health
goals for the nation for the first decade of this century,
has two primary objectives:
-
Enhance life expectancy and quality of life
- Eliminate
health disparities, across diverse population groups
Healthy
People 2010 challenges all of us -- professionals, communities,
and individuals alike, to take specific steps to ensure, that
good health and long life are enjoyed by all. We can personally
awaken the naturally occurring medicine within ourselves to
maximize good health, and eliminate wasted medical expenses.
We can also make empowering steps to ensure organizational
effectiveness, harmony and accountability.
Many
of the focus areas of Healthy People 2010, such as heart disease
and stroke, diabetes, educational and community based programs,
and injury and violence prevention can be addressed by the
educational and self-care methodologies of The Healer Within
Foundation. The Healer Within Foundation's tool box of methods
and processes encourages self-reliance in managing health,
healing, chronic health challenges, and can help prevent disease
and maximize performance and productivity through lifestyle
choices, behavioral changes, and understanding existing health
services.

The Healer Within Foundation has carefully refined these empowerment
tools for a variety of clients including hospitals and hospital
networks, educational institutions, faith communities, and
community agencies. We believe that everyone has the capacity
to improve their health, complement their medical treatment,
and reduce their medical costs.
