Quotations

Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. -- World Health Organization

[I]ndividual health is closely linked to community health -- the health of the community in which people live, work, and play. Likewise, community health is profoundly affected by the collective beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors of everyone who lives in the community. -- Healthy People 2010: Understanding and Improving Health
