First sentence: Less than a decade ago the struggle with teaching health care systems to my students included what we might consider today to be an oxymoron; We neither focused on health nor were able to identify a true "system" Prior to the 1990s, little attention was paid to health and wellness, prevention, or treatment of chronic illness.
