Today the definition of wellness involves the interrelationship of many dimensions of health: physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual. This holistic approach requires individuals taking more responsibility for their own well being. Our health status is also affected by society, government and the environment. The purpose of this course is to introduce students to a variety of current issues and controversies related to the delivery of healthcare services. As future allied health professionals, students will also learn their roles and responsibilities to ensure the integration of healthcare services.
