HEALTH PROMOTION
Health Promotion is a combination of art and science that helps people discover, achieve, and maintain an optimum state of wellness. Unhealthy lifestyles are the major cause of illness and death in our country, an enormous burden to society, and can create a negative impact on our military’s readiness. By providing programs that help to both recognize and prevent chronic illness in addition to providing avenues to change unhealthy behaviors, our Health Promotion staff can make a positive impact on the health and lives of those we serve.
Using the Department of Health & Human Services’ “Healthy People 2010” initiative, Semper Fit Health Promotion programs focus on nine subject areas. They are Physical Fitness, Alcohol & Substance Abuse Awareness, Suicide Prevention, Tobacco Cessation, Stress Management, Nutrition, Sexual Health, Injury Prevention, and Hypertension & Cholesterol.
