Abstract
A fundamental paradigm shift is occurring in the health care field that gives new hope to the challenge of reducing health care costs through the promotion of wellness. The authors of this paper present the present components of the new paradigm, the historical aspects of the paradigm shift, and examples of the paradigm shift in community health. The authors have also attempted to suggest ways in which individuals and communities can participate in the new paradigm.
