Health begins way before you get sick. It’s all the stuff that doesn’t have a medical billing code, that doesn’t get delivered in the doctor’s office, that doesn’t happen at a hospital, but rather where health starts—in homes, schools, communities, the workplace.Tracy Palandjian, Social Finance CEO and Co-Founder
