Health Education Classes
It is clear that health is not just a matter of biology and medical care, but of behavior, environment and social conditions. West Virginia Health Right provides an ambitious patient education program that advocates disease prevention, behavior modification and lifestyle changes.
The clinic’s education classes produce positive results in patients’ health status, particularly in smoking cessation, healthy heart behaviors, diabetes management, weight loss, nutrition and oral health.
