Center for Health Promotion
Health is the presence of optimal well-being; it is not merely the absence of disease or symptoms. Health is active, alive, and vital. It is the presence of well-being and dignity in the lives of individuals, communities, and cultures. It considers the whole person and integrates the six dimensions of wellness - physical, emotional, intellectual, social, spiritual, and environmental.
