I would like to welcome you to our
new health magazine Connections.
At Washington Health System, we
strive to promote health care—not just
sick care—because we know it's much
easier to prevent chronic health issues
than it is to treat them. Prevention is
the key to the overall health of our
community, and preventive health
includes not only well visits, vaccinations
and routine screenings, but also living
a healthy lifestyle by following a proper
diet, having good sleep habits and getting
regular exercise. We hope you nd our
new magazine both a good healthcare resource and an inspiration to be healthier.
Together we can build a healthy community.
Gary Weinstein
PRESIDENT AND CEO OF WASHINGTON HEALTH SYSTEM
