Abstract:

The author presents a Health Field Concept that is comprised or can be broken into four broad elements: human biology, environment, lifestyle and health care organization. These four elements were identified through an examination of the causes and underlying factors of sickness and death in Canada, and from an assessment of the parts that the elements play in affecting the level of health in Canada.
