Why Your Benefits Strategy Needs Healthcare Personalization

The healthcare system currently operates on a one-size-fits-all model that typically treats symptoms, not the person as a whole. This narrow focus neglects the integrated nature of the body, leaving countless individuals with inadequate and unnecessary care.
