What’s Driving Our Health

Improving the health of our nation starts with broadening our view of what health means.
That’s why we’re starting a national conversation around whole health and the factors that drive it.

WHY DID WE CONDUCT THE DRIVING OUR HEALTH STUDY?

Everyone should have the opportunity to be and stay healthy. That starts with
understanding all the factors that shape our whole health. By providing a baseline for how Americans understand what health means, we can pave the way to make meaningful, sustainable change in all the areas that make up our health and ultimately improve the
health and vitality of people across the nation.
