# Whole Person Care: The Future of Healthcare and the Road Bumps on the Way

Whole person care (WPC) is a new way of delivering healthcare that addresses a person’s complete physical, mental, and social needs, moving past the limitations of today’s fragmented, disease-centric approach. This white paper explores the evolution and implementation of WPC, its challenges, and its future.
