  “Population health is the ability to define and understand the health status of every individual patient and proactively deploy medical resources to support those patients, whether it is to push resource to them where they are, or effectively connect them to the optimal resource in a patient specific manner, accelerated by technology.”  Thomas Graf, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Population Health and Longitudinal Care Service Lines, Geisinger Health System.
 
 
Factoid
  "One in 6 [American] households are food insecure, and two-thirds of the population is overweight or obese…we suffer from poor dietary patterns. Foodborne illnesses have reached 76 million annually, accounting for 325,000 hospitalizations and 5000 deaths each year."
