Health Education

It is an art and a science:
It is epidemiology, immunology, and statistics.
It is also love, joy, sorrow, birth, and death.
 
It is multidisciplinary:
It is medicine, economics, sociology, politics, and ethics.
 
It is holistic:
It is nutrition and exercise, but
it is also spirituality, mental health, aging, sexuality, communication and ecology.
 
It is creative:
It is program planning, curriculum development, and public relations.
It is also music, dance, candlelight, and walks on the beach.

It is you and me, right here, right now.

from Dr. Kristine Brown, PhD CHES, Professor of Health Promotion

in the Department of Kinesiology and Health Promotion at Cal Poly Pomona
