Have you ever noticed advertisements in malls, grocery stores, or schools that advocate healthy-eating or regular exercise? Have you gone to your local centers or hospitals promoting physical activities and smoking cessation programs such as “quit” activities and “brief interventions?” These are all examples of health promotion.

Pender, Health Promotion and Disease Prevention should be the principal focus in health care, and when health promotion and prevention fail to anticipate predicaments and problems, then care in illness becomes the subsequent priority.
