Public Health Initiative
Public Health Promotion programs empower communities, organizations, families, and individuals, to improve health, reduce risk of disease, effectively manage chronic disease, and optimize quality of life and self-sufficiency, in pursuit of an enhanced state of general wellness at all stages of life.
The community outreach charter is intimately based on the concept that education serves as the most effective influence in facilitating the adoption of lifestyle choices that are conducive to lifelong wellness, from a physical, psychological, emotional, social, and spiritual perspective.
Physio WellnessNYC supports educational programs that heighten awareness, and enhance understanding regarding the efficient and healthful function of diverse aspects of the human body, including many physiological interrelationships, influenced by appropriately-directed, regular physical activity and sound nutritional habits.
Physio WellnessNYC serves as a benefactor to promote community wellness through free events that engage community patrons in practical activities that inspire them to adopt or maintain effective, healthful, lifestyle practices.
Events include:
- Public Health Education Programs and Workshops designed for community groups that explain the importance of:
- Determination of Current Nutritional Adequacy
- Explanation of Nutritional Requirements - Necessary Components of Nutritionally Adequate/Optimal Lifestyle Practices
- Body Composition and its Relationship with Health Status
- Body Composition and its Relationship with Lifestyle Practices (Nutrition & Physical Activity)
- Fall Risk Screening & Prevention with Risk Factor Reduction & Wellness Conditioning Strategies for Seniors
Additionally, Physio WellnessNYC provides Educational Resource Grants to local community wellness initiatives coordinated through public schools, public libraries, YMCAs, church groups, community arts centers, and community social groups. Educational Resource Grants include educational reference texts and charts, anatomical charts and models, nutritional science reference material, educational videos, educational seminars, and instructional workshops.
