Health
Promotion for Staff: Opportunities for school staff to
improve their health status through activities such as health assessments,
health education and health-related fitness activities. These opportunities
encourage school staff to pursue a healthy lifestyle that contributes to
their improved health status, improved morale, and a greater personal
commitment to the school's overall coordinated health program. This personal
commitment often transfers into greater commitment to the health of students
and creates positive role modeling. Health promotion activities have
improved productivity, decreased absenteeism, and reduced health insurance
costs.
