 Top O' the Mornin' to Ya! March is the first month of Spring. Like an awakening, it seems to go through the woods, dotting the trees with green, to mark out the spots where the future leaves are to be hung. The sun throws a golden glory over the hills... The streams now hurry along with a rapid motion, as if they had no time to dally with, and play round the impeding pebbles, but were eager to rush along the green meadow-lands, to tell the flowers it is time to bloom. It waltzes in teasing us; building an expectation of the warmer, lush green days to come. 
Change is coming! This awakening does not come only to the landscape, but also to our souls. God bless you as "spring" and new growth comes to you, friends. Happy March!
The Future of Health Care is Here

The cost of healthcare in the United States has been exploding at an unsustainable rate for the past 20 years.  Today, this soaring expense threatens our entire economy.  Our old system of hospital based healthcare delivery is both antiquated and inefficient.  The challenge is to overhaul healthcare in a way that maintains quality while cutting costs. 

 

Ben Franklin had it right when he said "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".  In no arena is that more true than in healthcare.  We have long known that it is much more cost effective to treat high blood pressure than to treat a stroke.  It is better to control diabetes than to keep the patient alive with dialysis and better to control cholesterol than to treat a heart attack.  Historically, medicine in the US has been reactive rather than proactive and that is a major cause of wasted healthcare dollars.

The healthcare of the future will focus on prevention and early detection in an effort to prevent the excessive cost and lost production associated with bad outcome events. 

 

Early detection is associated with much improved outcomes.  Future healthcare will focus on screening for colon cancer, prostate cancer, alcohol and drug abuse and for other commonly undiagnosed diseases like diabetes and hypertension.  Insurance companies will pay incentives to have periodic physical exams and screening tests in an effort to detects problems in early stages when a better prognosis are likely or preventing the problem altogether. Read more >>

1 The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them,
And the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose;
2 It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice, Branch Blossom  
Even with joy and singing.
The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it,
The excellence of Carmel and Sharon.
They shall see the glory of the Lord,
The excellency of our God.
