<><><><><><> An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of Cure. We understand there are many factors that impact the health of individuals and community. Health factors include lifestyle and behaviors as well as social and environmental conditions. Each one directly influences health.
Our Community Health professionals work to improve the health of individuals and community by: - Advocating and supporting policies to improve social and economic conditions in the community
- Offering education and support to help individuals make healthy behavior and lifestyle changes
- Addressing chronic and communicable diseases
- Monitoring the health of residents through research, data collection and evaluation
Our education and support includes workshops, communication materials, presentations and classes. Other topics addressed include nutrition, tobacco prevention, cardiovascular disease, injury prevention, and asthma. Community Health Education also maintains a library of health related literature and links to other organizations to help answer questions you may have. Contact the Community Health Education Division, located at the Birdseye Municipal Complex, at 385-4090 for more information or via email at groberts@townofstratford.com.
