Wellness¶
Literature, 1961
Not increasing your American employer’s healthcare costs. A more fashionable name for homoeopathy.
Credited to Halbert Dunn, chief of the US National Office of Vital Statistics and father of the alternative medicine “Wellness Movement”, in his 1961 book “High-Level Wellness”, which was derived from a series of 29 lectures at a Unitarian Church in Virginia. John Travis bought a copy in 1972 and founded the Wellness Resource Center in California as an “alternative” medicine clinic.
