health promotion

Encouraging healthier living

Health promotion encompasses efforts to improve well-being and prevent disease through education, policy, and environmental changes rather than medical treatment.

It shifts focus from curing illness to fostering healthy behaviors and conditions: The campaign emphasized health promotion over reactive care.

Public health initiatives, workplace wellness programs, and community outreach all fall under this umbrella.
