A new model of healthcare that emphasizes community and community care is needed to address chronic illness. Collaboration and a common language among healthcare practitioners are essential for effective and efficient care. Technology can support personalized care at scale and improve health outcomes. Permaculture and biodynamic farming are expected to blossom in the next decade. Community participation is crucial in building a sustainable future. Cancer is becoming a significant issue, particularly in younger generations. Nasha's work has the potential to catalyze into something bigger than imagined. Expressing gratitude and recognizing the wisdom and foresight in Nasha's mission.
