The Health Educator is a member of a team of professionals that support the work of the medical providers by educating patients regarding health promotion, disease prevention, and management of chronic diseases. Health education is provided by one-on-one counseling and group discussion at all clinic locations. The Health Educator also educates the community by participating in health promotion events and initiatives. An individual Health Educator may specialize in the health education needs of a specific population, such as diabetes or other chronic diseases, or may provide a specific area of health education that requires specialized and advanced training, such as nutritional counseling provided by a Registered Dietician.
