Yesterday, we had the opportunity to meet with school principals in our region. Education is a determinant of health and as we have been talking with people, education is something that is brought up again and again. People recognize the importance of educating children about personal health practices. They also see that linkages between Eastern Health and the Eastern School District need to be very strong.
People talk about the importance of the school system and, in particular, how nutrition and physical activity habits can be influenced within the school system. A number of people also talk about the role that children have in teaching parents/guardians about positive health practices.
