HealthePeople® - Vision and Strategy for Achieving Healthy People and a Healthy and Thriving Future We as a nation have begun a challenging journey toward reforming the American health system and improving Americans’ health. Other nations are pursuing their own paths to achieving their own healthy people and nations. Global health remains an enormous but critical challenge. In America, a substantial health reform law was enacted in 2010. That law and its effective implementation are expected to be major improvements, especially for the un- and underinsured. Unfortunately, there is much needed health reform that the law could have addressed better or the law did not address in a significant manner. In America, the need for more effective transformation is great because we spend over 1/6th (nearly $3 trillion) of our economy on health without producing a healthy America or healthy people. Without an even greater transformation in vision, strategy and execution, our future will be as disappointing as our past. To positively change that future and achieve true and full health reform and healthy people, “HealthePeople - Building a Healthy and Thriving Future” offers an integrated strategy, using "viaFuture" as a supporting strategy. These strategies apply to other nations and globally. This strategy was created with the belief that we can reach the vision of healthy people and a healthy and thriving future via an endgame strategy of high performance, health (including long term care) systems for all that are self-perpetuating, affordable, accessible, person-centered, “e” enabled, prevention-oriented, and producing high health quality, outcomes and status. |

Such systems, partly physical and partly virtual and put into place by collaborative private and public partnerships, will greatly improve accessibility, quality, affordability and health status for all people - achieving a healthy people. The 2010 health reform law provides progress for America. But, it fails to cover all key issues, and implementation will be a huge challenge. “HealthePeople - Building a Healthy and Thriving Future” addresses current programs, the 2010 health reform law, remaining gaps and execution challenges. Combining the best of all our strategies, together we can achieve a healthy people and build and sustain a healthy and thriving future for America, for other nations, and globally. |

Thrive!® is a vast, sustained human endeavor coupled with a vision, mission and call for action. As a call to action, it strives to energize and empower a vast endeavor of people together building and sustaining a thriving future forever for all, including our families, communities, nations and world.

viaFuture is a strategy to create and sustain large, positive change. It combines strong leadership and multi-generational involvement with next generation policy, program, information and management. We need a better future and a better vision for that future. We need a vision where all generations join together to fix our broken world and save our endangered future. We want to achieve positive, sustainable systems that help save what is broken and what is endangered and achieve a better future, a thriving world. To help make this happen, viaFuture draws upon lessons learned over the past 30+ years by Federal Executive and Legislative branches, local government, and private sector organizations to create more effective and integrated programs and policies and to successfully manage these programs and policies. |
In America and in the world, we are all vulnerable to a greater or less extent. We need to minimize vulnerability via policies and politics that systematically stop forces that push us down to more vulnerability and support forces that lift us out of vulnerability. Vulnerable (via) is a strategy to minimize vulnerability. “Vulnerability” is what we are targeting to change. “via”, defined as by way or means of, is how we bring about the change. We can set the vision for a thriving America and world and the endgame strategy for achieving that vision. To help make this happen, Vulnerable (via) draws upon lessons learned over the past 30+ years by Federal Executive and Legislative branches, local government, and private sector organizations to create more effective and integrated programs and policies to reduce vulnerability and to successfully manage these programs and policies. |
GChris abstract sculptures are what is termed "progressive art" and are heavily mission-driven. Advanced by the art are core progressive values - reducing human vulnerability, maximizing human potential, saving our environment, and building a thriving future. Existing GChris sculptures may be purchased and number over 100 pieces with dimensions ranging from a few inches to 12 feet and larger. Works of all sizes, even larger, can be commissioned. He wrote a science fiction novel - black box - a story of unknown technologies, science, religion, politics with the human pursuit of positive personal and global change. He wrote a children's book - Angel, Thriving Creator of Artful Things. Both are available at Amazon.com. |
