About Us
What is Prevention and Health Promotion?
Preserve, promote and improve the health and well-being of our community through comprehensive population and individual level services.
The Prevention and Health Promotion team uses evidence-based prevention strategies and health promotion to empower people to take control of their health in order to prevent disease and improve quality of life.
Our team uses the Health Impact Pyramid to ensure the work we are doing will influence the population as whole. Strategies such as changing social norms, and creating community-wide policies impact populations, while, counseling and education impact individuals.
