Program Description:

Welcome to Health Education. Health education is any combination of learning opportunities designed to promote behaviors in individuals, groups, or communities that are conducive to health. Generally, these learning opportunities are based upon scientific principles in which individuals acting independently or in groups make informed decisions affecting their health. Health education includes assisting people to achieve an optimal level of health, to prevent disease and debilitating conditions for occurring, and to minimize the impact of such diseases and conditions.
