» Health Education:
Our goal is to teach the public from young to old, how to care for
and protect your health. We do this through teaching sessions,
marketing healthy lifestyles through the media, and involvement with
and promotion of health-oriented community events.
-
Dental Health:
Our
Public Health dental hygiene consultant makes a large number of
presentations to over students, faculty and parents in our schools and
pre-school districts. Tooth brushes, toothpaste and dental floss
samples are distributed at the educational sessions. Some of the
educational highlights include healthy nutrition and dangers of
smokeless tobacco, as well as teaching proper ways to brush and floss.
- Health Education:
One of the Ten Essential Public Health Functions is to "inform, educate, and
empower people about health issues." Our Health Educator offers presentations
to school classes, parent groups, and senior citizens groups on a variety of
subjects such as hand washing, tobacco cessation, nutrition, poison control,
STD's, and puberty. Our LPN writes a weekly column in the local newspaper on
current health topics. We are actively involved in many Health Fairs around
the county as well.
We
are open weekdays from 8:30AM through 4:30PM. Call (315) 376-5453 or come
