Statistics are good sometimes in evaluating programs, but the most important number we see each and every day is ONE. One represents each person whose life has been changed, or even saved as a result of Integrated Health. The 24-year old male client with early onset Diabetes and Hypertension doesn’t care about statistics, but he does care about ONE, and how his life has been improved because we also cared about ONE.
