This book will inform and enlighten the daily reader and medical professional about some of the most important health concerns affecting America. When I was appointed as Medical Editor, one of the main aspects of the book I focused on was the accuracy and credibility of the information presented. I used my own personal background knowledge as a medical professional along with other publications and peer-reviewed health journals. The Future of health is headed in the direction of Preventive Medicine by stopping disease before it occurs and preventing the disease from recurring again.

Through sorting through the existing information and research, the information was integrated into a predetermined structure, such that the information would be easily comprehensible to readers. The book helps to increase conversation regarding different health conditions, such that there’s greater awareness about the signs and risk factors as well as resources for treatment and support. The prevalence, as well as negative health consequences and rates of mortality associated with these health conditions are of great concern. The future of health will also involve a destigmatization of mental health, such that individuals feel empowered to pursue the help and support they so much desire.

This book can save lives by encouraging readers to make lifestyle changes and develop better health habits. The number of deaths caused by these diseases is alarming and puts into perspective the magnitude of the health problems faced by the U.S. Ease of access to information and increased awareness of preventative measures can play a vital role in reducing the high death rates. This has driven me to incorporate more physical and social activity, no matter how small, into my daily routine so that I can maintain both my physical and mental health. With ongoing advances in science and technology, I am optimistic about the future of treatment options for better health.

Reaching out to medical professionals with first-hand experience treating and researching the conditions was the final component of research. The future of health is one that is hard to predict, especially during the pandemic's tumultuous healthcare environment. However, as more information becomes available to society, I view the future of health as one that will progressively become more holistic. Rather than focusing on one aspect of personal wellness, medical professionals now have the ability to combine different components of healthcare to create comprehensive treatment plans that can aid physical, mental, emotional, and social health.

It’s an open window to start a smart conversation about options for new health challenges. David is opening the Pandora box for further discussion and contributions.
