	"Behavioral health is essential for improvements in population health management. There are factors that have an impact on a person's health that cannot be changed, such as a person's genetic makeup and predisposition to diseases. There are systemic factors that have a negative impact on health that are very difficult to change, such as a person's environment and socioeconomic status. However, it is well known that a person's own behavior has a significant impact on his/her mental and physical health." -Lauren Callaghan, Director, Clinical Psychologist and Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, The MindWorks, Inc. London
