HES 145 - Health and Wellness

People today seek out information on health issues. They ask pointed questions of health care providers, demand second opinions, seek information on the internet and look for alternatives to traditional care and treatment.

There are good reasons for that curiosity: a more educated populace, higher health care costs, a growing interest in fitness, a new corporate focus on wellness education, and increased use of technology in health care. Clearly, people are growing more determined to positively impact their own health through lifestyle and health care choices. This course will help you achieve that goal.
