If We're Not Healthy No One Is Healthy

********

Because hospitals and nursing homes must function under a unique and high-pressured clinical setting, a specialized employee wellness program is needed to keep both health care workers and their patients healthy.

Spread the Word so Health Care Can Heal


Meet Dr. Robert Butler.
He is a pioneer in geriatric health care. He also sees the growing need for change in health care for the aging population which also carries over into the care everyone receives. He believes there needs to be more public health and prevention in medicine. He also talks about drug toxicity, hospital errors, addictions from tobacco and alcohol, and poor nutrition. It sounds like there is so much in the world that needs tending to but the truth is we see the harsh realities in our hospitals and nursing homes.

Can our hospitals and nursing homes be leaders in revolutionizing health care? I believe with the ambition of Dr. Butler we can do this. It requires breaking some ingrained habits of course and the entire health care team must be on board from policy makers to those who provide direct patient care. Change isn't easy, but it can start with small steps. This has been talked about for a long time. Who wants to blaze a new trail and make it a reality? It starts with keeping our health care workers well so they can inspire their communities.

Watch this video of a recent speech. He is already inspired. Now we can do the same.
