A hospital is in a unique position, both as a service provider and an employer, to provide a focus for disease prevention and health maintenance based on a greater understanding of the relationship between social and physical environment and lifestyle factors on health. Developing hospitals to become a resource for health instead of merely another link in the sick-care chain requires a substantial change in philosophy, management and practice. Reaching out into the community, establishing new and different relationships with consumers, and creating an environment conducive to healthy behaviour are only some of the changes necessary to reflect a health promotion focus. This paper discusses the experiences of establishing, developing and maintaining health promotion services at Flinders Medical Centre.
医院处于独特的地位，既是服务提供者又是雇主，能够基于对社会和自然环境以及生活方式因素与健康之间关系的更深入理解，为疾病预防和健康维护提供重点。要将医院发展成为健康资源，而非仅仅是疾病护理链条中的另一个环节，就需要在理念、管理和实践上进行重大变革。深入社区、与消费者建立全新且不同的关系，以及营造有利于健康行为的环境，只是体现健康促进重点所需的部分变革。本文讨论了弗林德斯医疗中心建立、发展和维持健康促进服务的经验。
