WEBINAR | Leveraging Lifestyle Medicine to Achieve the Quintuple Aim

Leanne Mauriello, PhD, Founder & CEO, Evolve Health Advisors; Kristi Artz, MD, Medical Director, Lifestyle Medicine, Corewell Health; Padmaja Patel, MD, Medical Director, Lifestyle Medicine Center, Midland Memorial Hospital; and Dexter Shurney, MD, MBA, MPH, President, Blue Zones Wellbeing Institute, Blue Zones LLC.  Dr. Mauriello leads a virtual fireside chat with three physician pioneers who are bringing Lifestyle Medicine into the forefront and paving the way for a future in which healthcare is effective, equitable, and sustainable. The majority of chronic disease burden and healthcare spend is attributed to preventable lifestyle risks. Lifestyle choices – what we eat, alcohol and tobacco use, sleep quality, stress management, and the amount of activity we get – are the most powerful predictors of health. Yet, these areas receive the least amount of time and attention in typical healthcare interactions. Enter Lifestyle Medicine. This emerging medical specialty is gaining traction across the nation as healthcare organizations seek innovative, effective, and scalable ways to:

1. Optimize the health of those they serve
2. Reduce healthcare spend
3. Improve patient experience
4. Improve provider satisfaction
5. Eliminate health inequities

In this fireside chat, distinguished panel members Drs. Artz, Patel, and Shurney discuss how health systems are designing and leveraging Lifestyle Medicine services to achieve unparalleled health improvements. They also explain how Lifestyle Medicine can be utilized as an effective means for population health, employee well-being, and success with value-based care. The panel members, all of whom do or have held leadership positions for the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, speak to the exponential growth this new medical specialty experienced in 2022. They also share their perspectives on the impact of Lifestyle Medicine on the future of healthcare.
