Community Health Programs
Health Education and Health Promotion programs address issues affecting the health of society. Many of the Community Health programs offered are drawn from major guidelines for the health of the state and nation, to include the Healthiest Wisconsin 2010 health initiative in Wisconsin and the national health framework, Healthy People 2010 . These guidelines document the need to address lifestyle factors such as tobacco use, substance abuse, nutrition and physical activity and responsible sexual behavior. Additionally, they point to the need to address environmental quality, violence prevention, mental health issues, as well as access to quality health care.
