Alice Walton wants her school’s graduates to keep patients healthy by practicing something that most doctors today don’t prioritize: preventive medicine and whole-health principles, which involve caring for (and not just treating) the entire person and all of the factors—from their mental health to their living conditions and lifestyle choices—that contribute to wellbeing.

Now normally that would sound great, but RFK Jr. has made me suspicious of such rhetoric.

I also have a sneaking suspicion that even if the curriculum is a runaway success, the "comprehensive whole-health care" will be unobtanium for anyone below a certain income threshold.
