Innovative Business, Social and Civic Entrepreneurship required here!
Healthcare and Jobs are the number one Domestic Crisis in our Society today.  We have an epidemic of Chronic Illness.  It is common for people to have multiple chronic illness and the prescription is different drugs for each of them that can not only each have side effects but different chemical reactions with the others.  This  unhealthy culture has become epidemic in companies.
50% of Corporate profits now go toward health care costs, versus only 7% three decades ago.  Companies can NO LONGER take a passive place with these rising expenses and reducing health benefits is not the answer.  Individuals today are not prepared to economically pick up the healthcare tab for the family, when their income  hasn't increased in decades.   Creating a Wellness Culture as a opposed to a Disease Management Culture is the only practical, rational and fiscally sound solution.
Healthcare is positioned as the number one cause of personal bankruptcy even for those with insurance.  So, in addition now to employees being required to pick up healthcare premiums, they are looking at even greater risks should they find themselves on a slippery slope say of: Depression, Obesity, Diabetes, Addictions, Heart Disease, Respiratory illness and Fatigue, but the escalating issues of degenerative illness.
Chronic Disease today is the biggest illness our country faces and they are all PREVENTABLE.  Yes, Heart Disease, Diabesity (Obesity & Diabetes), Cancer, Respiratory, Arthritic Disease, many Mental Illnesses, and many Behavioral Health issues Most are course correctable with healthier LifeStyle Choices and Changes.  Meaning our bodies have an intelligence of its own and when removed from highly 'toxic states and immersed back into more organic, nurturing and normal living make remarkable recoveries.

Wellness Without Walls is about creating a WholeHealth Wealth Worldview which emphasis co-creating Well Being for the Individual, for the Institutions resulting in Healthier Communities.  One of the ways we do this is rather than focus on the illness which we don’t want and set our sights on creating real Health/Well Being.  There are no absolutes in this world, but one of things we do know is that “Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure” –Benjamin Franklin.  So to hear that Prevention is not cost effective, then we must be talking about another type of prevention paradigm.  Because without question Prevention is well known to not only be economical, it is the most efficient and most effective way to prevent and correct Chronic Illness.  Therefore, I say what is unequivocally true, is let ACA, along with hospitals, pharmaceuticals, medical insurance do whatever they are going to do.  We are going to focus on creating a Well Being Vision.  WholeHealth Wealth Worldview has no side-effects, therefore no risk and because we customize each program to the culture, add a huge dose of cooperation for the common good, the ROI is always HIGH!
