Health is a broad term that encompasses attitudes and behaviors; holistically, health
includes wellness, which involves one’s whole being. The concept of illness prevention was
never considered by previous generations; throughout history, basic self-care requirements
have been recognized. Wellness and self-actualization develop through learning and
growth—as basic needs are met, higher level needs can be satisfied in turn, with ever-
deepening richness to life. Wellness is possible when one’s health is compromised—even

,with chronic illness, with multiple disabilities, or in dying, movement toward a higher level of
wellness is possible.
