"Why can't health care be run like the retail sector? If hospitals, insurers, and doctors all had to compete in the open market for patient-customers, innovation would flourish, prices would come down, and quality would improve.”
R.E. Herzlinger, professor-business administration, Harvard Business School
We wish all of you a very happy and healthy new year…a year that finds you healthier a year from now than you are right at this moment!
Did you notice that something interesting was happening in our practice this past year?
There were times when the office seemed like a pediatrician’s office. More children than ever were brought in by their parents…not for back pain but because their parents wanted their children to be as healthy as they could be now, and for the rest of their lives.
Since patterns of nervous system stress tend to run in families, the parents of many of the children you see in our office are looking to grow their children to be as healthy as possible rather than have them grow up with the kind of health problems that they, or for that matter, their parents, had. And, so while we have a fabulous success record in helping adults overcome their health problems, we see children to help them grow up healthy!
What about you and your family? Start the new year healthy for everyone in your family!
Doesn’t it make much more sense to work to grow the health of your children rather than trying to “fix” them after they have broken down? Of course!
We strongly believe that it is far better to grow healthy children than repair damaged adults. We can help you grow your kids healthy.
Call our office to schedule appointments to have their nervous systems checked so that they can be healthier for the rest of their lives!
The Bottom Line... The Bottom Line... The Bottom Line...
In her 2007 book, Who Killed Health Care, R.E. Herzlinger charges that hospitals, insurers, government, managed-care providers, corporations, and even her fellow academics are arrayed against the consumer, all of them locked in a struggle to control the medical industry. That leaves her in a somewhat lonely position in the health-care debate, but she is winning converts. "Really," she says, "how can you argue against the consumer?" We Agree!
