What we’re about
This group was originally titled "Moving from Sick Care to Health Care". Our original "charter" was as follows...
Are you an entrepreneur? A small / medium business? Do you offer products and services that contribute to improving health, "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." This might be a Meetup for you.
There are many factors that determine Health: diet, social interactions, spirituality, exercise, zip code, family relationships, clinical access, and so much more. To move from the current "sick care" to "health care" we need everyone working together: physicians, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, chiropractors, massage therapists, acupuncturists, herbalists, music therapists, mental health professionals, social workers, clergy, nutritionists, energy healers, fitness instructors, insurance brokers, financial advisers, durable medical equipment, food producers, retailers, information technologists... you get the idea.
The purpose of this Meetup is to promote collaboration among all businesses that want to improve health care and move away from "sick care". This may be through opportunities to work together, sharing best practices, helping others avoid mistakes or whatever can make more resources available to patients / clients / consumers for better health. This is NOT for complaints about the current system. Everyone knows it is broken. Working together, WE are going to make it better one small step at a time for our patients / clients / customers, loved ones, friends, neighbors, community and nation.
Be Well!
