the goal of the Fort Peck Tribes for the Fort Peck Tribal Health Depatment
to administer a prevention-based community health education program,
which will be receptive to the health education needs of the Service
Unit population on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation. The primary goals
of the Health Education Program are: |
|
|
|
|
|
- Increase
the knowledge and awareness of the nature of disease, and how
it can be reduced.
- Develop
Tribal leadership in the assumption of responsibility of health
education matters.
- Increase
the awareness and knowledge of individuals to practice behaviors
which prevent disease.
- Increase
the interaction by patients and their families in the effective
management of disease across the prevention, diagnosis, treatment
and rehabilitation spectrum.
