American philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson first coined the phrase in 1860 that we often hear and may even personally use, “Health is Wealth”. While we spend considerable time strategizing on, developing, and executing our estate or financial investment plans, we often omit consideration for health in those strategies. The good news is that there are considerable gains to derive by investing in health even if you start late. Remarkably, you can use the age-old strategies investment experts apply to manage wealth, to manage your health portfolio as well.

Join this workshop to build your own health investment portfolio using proven wealth investment strategies. Discover your many options to start slowly but surely on improving health. Learn how you can leverage our flagship program – AIM to Prevent to embark on this journey. AIM to Prevent is a lifestyle-based, screening, education, and personal health coaching program to reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, enhance well-being, and promote successful aging. Understand the methodology, program highlights, curriculum, and coaching interventions, and determine if this is a good fit for you.
