Why the Circle of Life?

Individuals and communities are clamoring for an enlightened and practical approach to health care. No longer content to wait passively for "magic bullets" to save them, people are awakening to the fact that they need to take responsibility for their lives and health in ways that will promote greater satisfaction. The sudden demand for personal coaching testifies to a growing desire by many people to function more effectively and feel better in everyday life.

Healthy People 2010, the US Department of Health and Human Services health goals for the nation in this first decade of the 21st century, has two primary objectives:

• Enhance life expectancy and quality of life

• Eliminate health disparities across diverse population groups

Its tools and processes are easy to implement. Its structure and processes encourage people to take responsibility for their own lives and health while collaborating with others and receiving support.
