14. We know that

sick in preventable

15. We know that
people are getting
The top 4 causes

16. But are the “sick” (those
with chronic conditions) getting
“sicker” in preventable
ways? (and therefore costing the
economy more money)

19. When diagnosed with
a chronic condition,
the focus is on treating
the symptoms rather
than the cause.

20. When diagnosed with
a chronic condition,
Remember the Top 4
the focus is on treating
causes of chronic
conditions: Alcohol,
Smoking, Poor Nutrition
the symptoms rather
& Lack of Exercise
than the cause.

21. But what if we
constantly focused on
preventing and
improving just like we
do with the “disease
free” ( preventative care)??

22. Can we improve and
even prevent further
unnecessary care by
continuously
addressing the causes
(aka, the usual suspects: diet, exercise
and behavior) ??

23. Can we improve and
even prevent further
Can we treat the basics:
unnecessary care by
Sleep, Water Intake,
Exercise, Nutrition &
Mental Wellness and
continuously
reduce the cost of care
of individuals with

25. We believe every single individual –
The Chronic
Healthy At Risk Conditions
“sick” or “disease free”
can benefit by
continuously focusing
on the basics.

26. It doesn’t matter WHO you are or WHAT your
diagnosis is, 100% of the population can and will
benefit by continuously improving basic health –
preventing unnecessary treatment tomorrow.

27. We believe preventative care is about
constantly monitoring and promoting the
basics. It is not a recommendation, it is a
prescription for health.

28. Pre ven ta tive Care: Redefined
Measures taken to prevent diseases (or injuries) AND to
prevent further complications associated with the
diagnosis of diseases. Rather than a focus on maintaining
and sustaining one’s current state (or symptoms), the
focus is on constantly improving.
