 Health Screening & Education is an innovative approach for churches, communities, and short-term medical teams. With a combination of health screening and participatory teaching, along with a Health Fair for children, adults and children learn how to prevent major health problems such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and many types of cancer.
This approach, based on World Health Organization standards, was developed by the Health Education Program for Developing Countries. Go to http://www.hepfdc.info/Health_Screening.html for more information, illustrations and other resources.
Be sure to check out their excellent health illustrations and manual as well as the health education lessons and picture books. Additional materials for Community Health Screening and Education are available on the HEPFDC website. Many materials are available in English, Spanish, and other languages.
This PowerPoint gives a more complete explanation of how to carry out Community Health Screening and Education. Learn how the local church and the community can be involved in:
- Vision Planning
- Team Preparation & Training
- Screening & Education Event
- Additional Activities

The health screening and education is followed up by additional outreach activities carried out by the local church.
