I’m thrilled you’re here and reading our first post …

That’s because we need you to help end the roller coaster of health care crises. “Roller coaster of health care crisis … what th-?” Good question! It’s one we should all be talking about. And this is the place to do it!

Look at this:

Life Experience with Lifesprk

A study of almost 12 million people published in the New England Journal of Medicine study found that after an initial incident, 1 in 5 people aged 65-and-better were re-hospitalized within 30 days. More alarming, 1 in 3 were re-hospitalized in 90 days. That’s a roller coaster of health crisis we aim to get you off and keep you saving pain, stress and money.

We’re living longer. And we have the opportunity to live better. Have ideas on how to do that? We’d love to hear them! Each of us plays an important, personal role in eliminating the roller coaster of health care crises.

Learn from the experts to find your own way!

This blog will also feature the voices and opinions of Lifesprk Advisory Board Members who are passionate about well-being – accomplished subject-matter experts and authors such as Larry AckermanElmer BaldwinMary Jo Kreitzer,  Richard Leider, Harry MoodyLarry Spears, and Peter J. Whitehouse.

Wow! Now those are people you’ll want to hear from often. Check back often. Share this blog with your friends. Better yet, share your own opinions on this blog and through all of our social channels.

Together we’ll change the experience of the second half of life.

Shine on!

Joel, Lifesprk President & Founder
