Management must keep in mind that these programs must be implemented and done by, with and for the people in the community, not on them. Health promotion requires partnerships for health and social development between the different sectors at all levels of governance and society.…

Rising healthcare costs and lack of quality make it necessary to change the current healthcare system in the United States.
