“Health promotion has been one of my favorite things with taking a broader perspective on someone’s overall health by looking at the bigger picture of what contributes to one’s health. Rather than just focusing on biology or the individual, health promotion looks at the structures in place and how they have historically affected how we got to where we are.”
