Human beings are multi-dimensional, dynamic, open systems who are in continual interaction with the environment.
Persons are complex wholes who seek a balance through their unique abilities.
Accountable for their actions, human beings have the potential for self-direction and rational decision making as they maintain, preserve, and promote health. Environment is also the aggregate of societal expectations, which are reflected, in the intracultural and intercultural interaction of the human being with families, groups, and communities. It is the integration of the multiple dimensions of life which when working in harmony creates wholeness and lead to a sense of well-being and satisfaction. Health is influenced by the individual's genetic endowment, developmental stage, lifestyle, and environmental situation. Health includes personal responsibility to care for one's self and behaviors to promote health and prevent disease.
