First off herbs and clinics directly affect the health of your people. I believe clothes and firewood do, as well. So if you don't have an herbalist then you aren't getting some of the health you need. Also, the education level of your staffing is important. If you have a physician that is uneducated, he's guessing and not doing the job to the best of his ability.

The nice thing about this game is tht one thing directly affects another in a way that makes it all intertwined. So let's say you want to get a good physician; you'll need better clothing/tools, a school system, educated workers in your herbalist hut, ample firewood to keep people warm in the harsh winters where there either isn't enough clothing or the clothes just aren't enough.

A great thing is to trade for herbs, too. After certain population limits herbs are hard to store, even if you have three or four herbalist huts, so using your trade post to get them can help a lot. I believe that the density of your forest impacts how much the herbalists yield, too. This means having a forester hut early that only has two people that plant could be helpful towards your cause.

The variety of your citizens diets also greatly effect health. The more variety and stable their home food inventories are, the healthier they will be.

I've played many games without farming or herding or any other of those new fangled things.

No hospital.

Just hunters and gatherers and fishing.

A herbalist is a must in those conditions.

Everyone stays on 4.5 stars of health and with a cemetery 4.5 stars of happiness.
