Prevent and empower.
In an effort to short health care from ¿diagnose and treat¿ to ¿prevent and empower,¿ Henry Ford Health System (HFHS) launched the Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, directed by Ronald M. Davis, MD, former chief medical officer of the Michigan Department of Public Health and former director of the Office on Smoking and Health at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He also headed up three Surgeon General's reports on smoking, including the 1988 report linking smoking to nicotine dependence.
