The general welfare of the individual citizen is the first concern of a democratic society.  Health and education are important, therefore, to any organization devoted to serving the needs of citizens.  The opportunity to enjoy an optimal quality of life through participation in an active, diverse, inclusive environment supports the development and maintenance of a productive society.
