The health care program takes preventive measures to maintain our community residents healthy. Just as health comprises a variety of physical and mental states, so do disease and disability, which are affected by environmental factors, genetic predisposition, disease agents, and lifestyle choices. Health, disease, and disability are dynamic processes which begin before individuals realize they are affected. The health care program provides an integrated approach to health letting community residents receive exceptional preventive health care services. It connects residents directly with high quality healthcare professionals encouraging them to take control of their health by tracking critical health indicators with peridical health assessments.
