Physician Spotlight: Dr. Seth Kleinbeck
When Seth Kleinbeck enters his exam room, he often looks worse off than his patients. It’s not unusual for the six-foot-two-inch doctor to come in hobbling on an injured leg, with a black eye or sporting stitches for deep gashes on his face.

- Allowing yourself to become aware of the positive and nurturing opportunities that are available through food preparation and consumption by respecting your own inner wisdom.

State and Private Programs Create Wellness Culture
It’s not that Becky Kossover had bad eating and exercise habits. She ate reasonably well and exercised fairly regularly. But now Kossover, the BreastCare program contract and accounts manager for the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH), makes sure she eats healthy foods and exercises at least 30 minutes every day.
