The National Health Education Standards (NHES)

Regional School Unit (RSU) #64 is comprised of an elementary, middle and high school within a small rural community in the town of Corinth, ME. This community is largely supported by agriculture and local business. However, it is about 20 miles from Bangor, ME, the closest city with numerous resources. Unfortunately, this distance restricts Corinth residents with a lack of transportation from having access to these resources. Inadequate knowledge and awareness of health care promotion and prevention methods also have adverse results on community health. Whether the resource be obtaining a pair of glasses or medication from a pharmacy, even the seemingly effortless tasks can present challenges and go to show that members of this community suffer disparity due to their rural location.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC, coordinate efforts in conjunction with states and other partnersto offer a system of health surveillance, which would monitor and prevent disease outbreaks, which includes bioterrorism. The goal of the agency is to implement strategies to prevent diseases as well as maintain national health statistics. Another role of the CDC is to safeguard against international disease transmission, this is vital as the agency has personnel located several countries outside the United States. Looking at the agency’s core functions, examining influences in the workplace, and identifying roles of the agency personnel is vital to

Greenberg, R. (2010) the authors talk about the need for changes in the health education system.

6. Some challenges with assistive technologies are : “Faculty training still does not acknowledge the fact that digital media literacy continues its rise in importance as a key skill in every discipline and profession, the emergence of new scholarly forms of authoring, publishing, and researching outpace sufficient and scalable modes of assessment, too often it is education’s own processes and practices that limit broader uptake of new technologies, the demand for personalized learning is not adequately supported by current technology or practices, new models of education are bringing unprecedented competition to the traditional models of higher education, and most academics are not using new technologies for learning and teaching, nor for organizing their own research,” (Lepi, 2013).

The purpose of this paper is to summarize and detail the observations, interventions, and activities performed at the After-School Program held daily at the Howard Mohr Community Center in Forest Park, IL. The activities listed were instituted in order to promote health and prevent disease to the aggregate

Health care providers can overcome differing points of view regarding health promotion and disease prevention by creating a learning environment built on mutual trust, respect and acceptance. The goal is to provide education that is built upon the individual or group strengths that empower and engage the group/individual to be an active participant. It should encourage decision-making that positively affects lifestyle and health behavior changes.

After School projects can bolster regions' endeavors to actualize and assess nearby wellbeing approaches in two critical ways. One route is to offer extra open doors for a composed physical movement and nourishment and physical instruction. Another is to execute program arrangements and practices that strengthen the region's nearby health strategy and bolster its objectives for wellbeing, accordingly guaranteeing consistency from the school day to the after school hours. The Afterschool Alliance has built up this toolbox to feature opportunities for after school pioneers and supporters to end up engaged with and help shape the procedure along at all times.The Afterschool Alliance is the main association devoted to bringing issues to light of the significance of afterschool programs and pushing for more afterschool ventures to guarantee that all youngsters approach moderate, quality afterschool programs.The Afterschool Alliance has made and recognized assets to control you through the way toward distinguishing, drawing in and keeping up associations with

While performing some research on the high school students at Proviso East, I found that most of them come from a low income family backgrounds with majority of the African American population. I learned more about their lifestyle and the health care services available in their community. As the majority of the ethnically diverse parents in the community have lots of children and work in entry level service jobs, the students have less access to hygiene knowledge. According to which I think they lack awareness about healthy eating, drinking habits, oral health, and other basic health education.

in the United States, the National School Program helps children get into a healthy eating habit.

My school support children to achieve the five outcomes of the ECM framework – be healthy, stay safe, enjoy and achieve, make a positive contribution to society and achieve economic well-being. They do this with activities such as, encouraging healthy eating, anti-bullying awareness, breakfast, after-school clubs and relevant PSHE lessons. My school supports and encourage community cohesion: by working towards a society in which there is a common vision and sense of belonging by all communities, by interventions, by diversity and by using a wide curriculum. By creating opportunities for pupils’ achievement and enabling every child and young person to achieve their potential, my school make a significant contribution to long term community cohesion.

The health promotion practicum course helped me explore around town in finding places to do my internship under a licensed Physical Therapy. I took this course since the class can help me discover my own self and see if I am choosing the right path for myself in the future. I did an internship when I was in the community college with my human services course. I volunteered at the activities stations at Hilo Medical Center and worked with nurses. I knew back than, I did not see myself as a Nurse, and that’s where I noticed a Physical therapist and witness up hand, in what they do. From there, I changed my track and I knew I would rather help people in a difference aspect compared to a nurse.

When people think of health in America, common sicknesses like cardiovascular disease and cancer come to mind. Although these sicknesses are very usual, yet serious diseases, they are definitely not the only health issues prevalent in America today. Organizations such as the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) work to ensure nationwide health promotion of all diseases. In 1979, the Department of Health, Education & Labor initially created the Healthy People program as a standard for disease prevention goals across the US. In its initial printing, the Healthy People program exhibited a "ten-year plan to reduce controllable health risks". In January 2000, Healthy People 2010 was established by the HHS as "a set of health objectives for the Nation to achieve over the first decade of the new century." With 467 specific objectives clustered into 28 focus areas, the 2010 program was implemented to reach all people and health issues across the United States. Of those 28 areas, 10 were considered 'Leading Health Indicators' which served as reflections of the major health

Upon reviewing the community vitality data I came to the conclusion that the health problem that a health education program would be most appropriate to address would be childhood nutritional health and fitness. I came to this conclusion after careful data analysis. Of the county’s adults (18+) 77% ate less than five servings of fruits and vegetables per day, this percentage is so high likely because of attitudes and habits these adults picked up when they were children. The second largest age demographic in the county is children aged 10 to 17 are overweight, six percent more than the state average, 88% of children age 10 to 17 are not meeting daily targets for fruit and vegetable consumption and 30% age 10 to 17 watch 3 or
