title: The "trusted clinician": an alternative approach to worksite health promotion?
abstract: A trusted primary care clinician located in the workplace and serving all employees is presented as a desirable model for delivering prevention services to employees in this edition of The Art of Health Promotion. Many of the clinical studies that support this model are reviewed by the authors and their implications are discussed. Finally, the authors call for large scale experimentation to test the potential of the model to improve health risks status, lifestyle behaviors and health care utilization and cost.
