Building a culture of health: A new framework and measures for health and health care in America

Abstract

For generations, Americans’ health has been unequally influenced by income, education, ethnicity, and geography. Health care systems have operated largely apart from each other and from community life. The definition of health has been the “absence of illness,” rather than the recognition that all aspects of our lives should support health.
