Wayne State University Physician Group recently introduced its Active Health Solutions initiative, a program designed to empower individuals and organizations by providing the tools they need to take charge of their both their budgets and their health.

WSU's Active Health Solutions are both good medicine and good business because they can enhance health and save money at the same time. These solutions allow employers and patients to move out of the role of passive observers to become active drivers of better approaches to managing health care.
