description	After presenting new evidence produced for the commission about the extent of unrealized health potential in the U.S., a brief overview is provided of the science supporting a more comprehensive approach to reducing health disparities and improving health overall, and a summary of the case for taking societal action now to address the obstacles to health faced by many Americans. While ensuring that individuals have access to appropriate medical care and information about health-promoting behaviors remains important, effective solutions also will require a broader focus on the contexts that powerfully shape both health behaviors and health itself. Much remains to be learned about which strategies are most effective, but current knowledge is sufficient to indicate promising direction.
