Welcome to Tri-Area Community Health
Health Education
Health education is one of the most important aspects of healthcare. It is essential that people have access to health education so that they can make informed decisions about their health and their health care. Tri-Area Community Health provides health education services to the community in order to promote good health and prevent disease. We offer a variety of health education programs, including classes on nutrition, weight management, and chronic diseases. We also offer health screenings and flu clinics throughout the year.
Knowledge is Health Power
According to the health belief model, one of the most important factors in health is knowledge. When people have information about their health and the things that can affect it, they are more likely to make healthy choices. Tri-Area Community Health provides health education services to help our community members gain the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their health.
If you have knowledge about your conditions or medical issues, you are more than likely to take care of it and be proactive. It is essential to attend health education classes so that you are able to make healthy choices for your body. These services offered by Tri-Area will give you the tools and knowledge to do just that!
Tri-Area Community Health offers several opportunities for patients and community members to attend health education classes.
We offer diabetes education classes through the University of Virginia Telemedicine Program. These classes are led by Carla Horton, RN, CDCES. Carla is a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist and is available by appointment to help educate you or a loved one about diabetes. If you have diabetes or would just like to learn more to help a loved one who has it, please call 276-398-2292 to see when our next diabetes education classes are scheduled or to set up a time to meet with Carla.
Be Aware, There's Plenty of Misinformation Out There
The internet can be a great resource for health information, but it can also be a source of misinformation. It is important to get your health information from reliable sources, such as your healthcare provider or a trusted website. Tri-Area Community Health provides health education services that are evidence-based and accurate. We want our community members to have the most up-to-date information so that they can make informed decisions about their health.
With so much misconstrued information, it is more crucial than ever to get health education from certified professionals. The team at Tri-Area are experts in their field and will give you the most precise data available!
Health Education Can Help You Prevent Disease
Health education can help you learn about the things that can cause disease and how to avoid them. Tri-Area Community Health provides health education services that focus on prevention. We offer classes on nutrition, weight management, and chronic diseases. We also offer health screenings and flu clinics throughout the year.
Learning about what causes diseases and taking steps to avoid those risks can save you a lot of pain — both physically and emotionally. The health education programs at Tri-Area are designed with prevention in mind.
Stress Management and Group Counseling
In addition to health education services, Tri-Area Community Health also offers stress management and group counseling services. Stress can have a negative impact on your health, so it is important to learn how to manage it. Group counseling can also be beneficial for those who are dealing with chronic health conditions.
