Perspectives

From the President:

One of The Horizon Foundation’s goals is to ensure that community residents have access to information that is pertinent to health and wellness.  We believe that an important way to accomplish this is to provide an online forum for the exchange of ideas on critical issues -- particularly those that are relevant to health policy, programs and practice.

 To that end, we’ve recruited some distinguished health leaders who will contribute to our site on a regular basis.  Each of these seasoned professionals will produce four columns per year.  We encourage you to read these columns and to give us feedback on your own perspective through the Horizon website.

Over time, we will be adding other features to stimulate new thinking about the improvement of community health and wellness.   I want to personally thank Peter Beilenson, M.D., Jerry Seals, M.D., Robert Duggan, M.A., M.Ac., Charlene Quinn, R.N., Ph.D., Nancy Weber, Michael Greenburg, J.D. and Ron Carlson for their willingness to contribute their time and talent to these pages.
