Diversification
Development of a program that reaches out to a wider, less-medical-oriented market. Good Sam could develop health & wellness programs as part of its daily healthcare services.

This is an expansion of the health clubs/communities of learners, wherein patients/clients are both informed and encouraged to participate in activities that contribute positively to their health and well-being on a regular basis
The feasibility (and eventually, viability) of diversifying into a health and wellness institution would be a radical yet effective move for Good Sam, as it has already established itself as a reputable and competitive hospital and healthcare organization with a pool of competitive doctors, coupled with high quality services, facilities, and technologies. The move to develop a health and wellness program/service within the hospital will be part of Good Sam's move to become more well-known to the communities that it serves, which are arguably communities that are also informed and desire...

Health and Wellness Definitions of Health In 1997, the World Health Organization decided that the on hand definition of health needed to be modified to ensure elasticity and better implementation. The definition according to the WHO constitution of 1948 defines health as a "state of complete physical, mental and social well being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."

According to Zoller, scholars and/or practitioners proponents of workplace health promotion (WHP) generally assume that employees universally welcome the programs. Perhaps, the primary delimitation that could be contributed to health and wellness programs would be that one of the other would not be wanted by employees. Consequently, health promotion literature that deems the programs to be "pro-social" endeavors designed in employees' best interests frequently fail to engage employees' participation. Additional delimitations
