The National Institutes of Health describes whole-person health as looking at the whole person "not just separate organs or body systems — and considering multiple factors that promote either health or disease." It says such holistic caring involves aiding individuals, families, communities and populations to improve their health in interconnected biological, behavioral, social and environmental areas.
