Community Health Education focuses on improving the health of the communities Reid serves. To direct our efforts where the need is greatest, however, we must first determine those needs.

The following four health priorities were identified based on the Community Needs Assessment completed in 2007:

• Obesity/Lack of Physical Activity
• Chronic Lung Disease/Asthma
• Stress/Depression
• Cardiac Indicators- Elevated Blood Pressure & Cholesterol
