"This book was designed with the intention to shift the paradigm from medical models of care and rehabilitation after disease, illness, or disability to prevention and health promotion for individuals, communities, and organizations. We are not minimizing the need for medical and rehabilitation interventions, but rather shifting the emphasis. In several chapters of this book, there are strategies for integrating principles of health promotion and wellness into rehabilitation as well as during medical intervention. For example, when a client presents symptoms of stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA), any medical professional can have a conversation about possible etiology that is within the individual's control, such as smoking, weight, and sedentary behaviors, just to increase health awareness to possibly prevent a reoccurrence"-- Provided by publisher.
