Rather than merely treating people once they’re sick, and they enter the healthcare system at that point, SIMPCO’s goal in Illinois is to set the standard for prevention and health promotion, and to embrace the fact that in most instances, usually only a few simple measures can prevent disease. I believe that we can change that paradigm forever. If we refocus and reset, the post-COVID-19 ‘new normal’ that everyone’s talking about can be disease prevention for us and our families, throughout our communities.
