Promote health and wellness for all ages and population groups!
Health Promotion Throughout the Life Span, 9th Edition provides a
comprehensive guide to leading health promotion concepts, from
assessment to interventions to application. Its lifespan approach
addresses patients' unique needs with case studies and care plans,
with an assessment framework based on Gordon's Functional Health
Patterns. New to this edition is expanded coverage of genomics and
