What roles does a community health educator have in community health?
Health educators plan, implement, and evaluate health programs to improve health for all. Community health is a multi-sectoral profession so health educators network across many disciplines in an attempt to develop comprehensive programs that bridge household, corporate, school, medical, and environmental concerns in social, political, and economic contexts. Health educators organize communities for action, seek to influence public policy and law, establish health programs to create healthier environments, and provide programs to impact healthy personal behaviors.
