Data, it isn't all business. 

There isn't a place in the world today where you cannot find data! In fact, in the world of business we have even created some of the greatest titles for professionals involved with data:
 
Data Scientist
Data Engineer
Big Data Engineer
Machine Learning Scientist
Business Analytics Specialist
Data Visualization Developer
Business Intelligence Engineer
BI Specialist
Analytics Manager
Machine Learning Engineer
Statistician
 
and this list goes on. Please don't get me wrong here, as professionals today we continue to seek more and more data in the hope we can provide the best possible framework, which allows you and your team to make the best decisions, based on… data! Be it capital investments, adding resources, expanding into new territories, tech investments… we thrive on data. 
 
You might be asking why is a healthcare company discussing Data? Simply said, if we all spent half the time on our "personal data" as we do our business data we might just find ways to improve our personal data set of metrics to be healthier and happier humans and become your own Data Scientist! 
 
Do you know:
 
Your Weight and Height to calculate your BMI?
Your Blood Pressure?
Poor Oral Hygiene is the leading indicator of diabetes, pre-diabetes, hypertension? 
Your Colon PSA number?
Your blood work provides you "data '' on glucose levels, anemia, diabetes
What does your company benefit plan cover?
 
Bottom Line, Data needs to be in balance, so take as much responsibility for your body as you do your business, and if you do, both worlds will prosper!
