Longevity & Healthy Aging Symposium
Keynote: The Future of Healthcare is Salutogenic Science
Longevity & Healthy Aging Symposium 2023
What if we created a better balance between the treatment of disease and a science that helps us optimize health based on human needs, goals and wants? Our delivery teams and their strategies would be different because the outcomes will focus on want we want; more health for everyone! This is the future of Salutogenic Science (Salute: health, Genesis: The origins of) and we are beginning to find financial ways to sustain it so this simply becomes, “good medicine.”
