Health Influences

“Whether we mean to or not, we influence public and personal health in all aspects of our lives. Health – good and bad — is communicable, and it is the responsibility of every citizen, especially those of us with leadership roles in any sector or industry, to act on this.”  Excerpt from an article in The Huffington Post Health News.
