A Message from Dean D. Craig Brater, M.D.

Preventing disease is the goal of the Indiana University Executive Health Program. The benefits of prevention are immeasurable, and while they certainly affect the patient, they also impact the patient's family, employer, colleagues, and friends. There's no questioning that treatment plays an important, and vital, role in today's medicine. But preventing disease can be far less challenging than fixing what is broken. This is why the work of the Executive Health Program is so important.

The physicians and staff carefully orchestrate the program's mission by providing personalized care and a strong emphasis on healthy living. Participants in the program have come to rely on the one-on-one interaction, guidance and reinforcement that set the IU Executive Health Program apart from all others. I'm one of those people. And I feel fortunate to have this resource available to people in Indiana and throughout the country.

There are many reasons to get involved in the program. Maybe you need a road map to better health. Or, if you're like me, you need a reminder now and then to stay on course. Perhaps your organization's management team would benefit from improved fitness. It's important to take action toward a healthier life. Benefit from what Indiana has to offer: a top ranked program with outstanding faculty and staff. The impact could be immeasurable.
