Health education programs help empower individuals and communities to live healthier lives by improving their physical, mental, emotional and social health by increasing their knowledge and influencing their attitudes about caring for their well-being.
Blending knowledge from the biological, environmental, psychological, and medical sciences, health education professionals implement, develop, and evaluate programs designed to keep people healthy in their daily lives. Health Educators are trained to assess health needs and plan, develop, and implement health programs as well as communication strategies across environments.
