What if healthcare didn't begin when something went wrong?

In this episode of Healthspan Voices, Matt Lawson sits down with Chris Lindley, Chief Population Health Officer at Vail Health and Executive Director of Behavioral Health, for a conversation about rethinking what it means to help people become—and stay—healthy.

Chris's career has taken him from military service and public health to entrepreneurship, behavioral health, fitness, and population health. Across those seemingly different worlds, he sees a common thread: creating environments and communities that help people improve their health.

Matt and Chris explore the philosophy behind Healthspan and why lasting health involves much more than exercise, nutrition, or a set of numbers on a lab report. They discuss the connection between behavioral and physical health, the power of community and accountability, what healthy aging actually means, and why meaningful change doesn't have to begin with a dramatic transformation.

Sometimes it starts with a walk. Better sleep. More water. A different choice.

One percent better.

It's a conversation about moving healthcare beyond simply treating illness—and toward helping people build lives that allow them to remain active, independent, connected, and engaged for as long as possible.
