Founded by CEO David Dahm, Health and Life does more than just your tax return. We work with like-minded, aspirational and ethical people to build a sustainable and socially responsible healthcare system. Unlike David, you shouldn't have to nearly die to start living your dreams. "After working long hours as an accountant, I had a car accident at 5:30am while asleep at the wheel and hit a tree. I very nearly lost my life. It was then that I decided to become a patient advocate as well as an accountant."
