The book Journey Across the Life Span: Human Development and Health Promotion is written by Elaine Polan. Current trends indicate the need for changes in our health care system: the need is a system that focuses on universal health care. This creates the need to emphasize the promotion, maintenance, and restoration of health. In this new health care delivery system, health workers are expected to provide care to people in a variety of settings throughout their lives.
This textbook is designed to assist students in their study of the life cycle from conception to old age. Instead of having to read only certain sections of a basic text or parts of a pediatric or maternity text, students can now see the full presentation of growth and development throughout life. We hope this is meaningful and helps students develop an appreciation for people in their struggle to maintain, promote, and restore health.
