Our Goal
Increase the quality of life, availability, and effectiveness of educational and community-based health related issues on a global health level of care, which should improve health related impairment issues by preventing negative impacts on your health, injury or disability.
Overview
Our educational and community-based program play a key role in:
- Preventing health and injury impairments.
- Improving health.
- Enhancing quality of life.
We acknowledge that health status, and related health behaviors are determined by influences at multiple levels, such as providing participants’ health education, discuss their primary diagnoses’ for which participants/health education is provided, topics associated with diagnoses’, amount of time spent providing participants/health education, level of understanding of the participants/health education provided, personal virtual (online) or face-to-face time, organizational/institutional, environmental, and policy. Because significant and dynamic interrelationships exist among these different levels of health determinants; therefore, educational and community-based factors are most likely to succeed in improving health and wellness when we address the influences at all levels, and in a variety of environments/settings.
