Description:	The merits of keeping people healthy are clear from a physiological and psychological standpoint. But the material value of a healthy population is equally certain — healthy people save society and industry money. The rising cost of medical care has forced the health-care and insurance industries to evaluate wellness strategies. Wellness promotion is founded on the philosophy of prevention and education. Wellness experts and health educators work hard to help the public understand and maintain healthy living standards. They attempt to balance the psychological, cultural, and social aspects of healthy behavior through weight management, nutrition, smoking cessation, exercise, and many other programs. The strategic tools of the wellness professional are needs assessment, behavior change, program planning, implementation, evaluation, and administration. With a firm grasp of the principles of wellness promotion as provided by the Independence University Master of Science in Heath Services - Wellness Promotion degree, you can be a significant factor in promoting health awareness and promotion in your community or facility.
