Health Education Plan Paper
Health Education Plan
Health Education Plan This health education plan’s creation was based on the information collected from the Windshield Survey of the Hutchinson, KS area. This plan is directed towards the whole community. I will include in this plan: a description of the educational need; establish a goal and three objectives for the community; select two appropriate educational methods; outlines the steps to implement the plan; and evaluates the educational process including educator and process evaluation. There is a clear educational need for the prevention of obesity and the reduction of obese people within the community.

Flyers about the community educational plan will be distributed throughout the community in various settings such as grocery stores, community colleges, day cares, and libraries.
The second step involves recruitment of volunteers, as this is a critical component to this program's success. Volunteers can come from almost anywhere within the community. They can be health care workers, or someone who has been or is obese. A dietician would be necessary to help make diet recommendations for each category of person, and to help provide information to accurately estimate IBW’s. A personal trainer would benefit the exercise portion of the program. Donations would help to create a community website in which people can download tips on eating and exercising, thus alleviating the need for copy equipment, paper, and computers. The third step would involve obtaining a site within the community where biweekly meetings could be held. Space within a local church or gym could be donated to keep any expenses to a minimum, and keep the plan moving without any hindrances of needing money to keep the organization on track. The meeting place could start in someone’s home until it grows enough to warrant a larger site. The fourth step would be to keep the momentum going by continuously creating community awareness by the promotion of the website or program by word of mouth. That is the best form of advertising for any company, and it should work for health
