Charlottesville’s a community that, on some levels, takes great care of itself. But that’s not the end of the story, as we hope to point out in this, our 2011 Health Annual. Our community—like every community—also encompasses illness, lack of medical coverage, and the ongoing hard work of caring for each other, whether that means the search for a high-tech cure or the compassion to help a stranger get in shape. We’ve tried to find some of the more fascinating corners of the local health scene, and in the spirit of the new year, we also offer some advice on eating well, exercising and a few other healthful topics. Here’s to wholeness; here’s to healing. Now it’s up to you to make the connections. Read the cover story here, and don’t forget to leave comments.
