CHCA secured various funding sources to develop
and implement a "Healthy Life-styles Campaign."
CHCA contracted with UAMS College of Public Health, Advantage
Communications, Dietician/Health Educators, and Exercise Physiologist
to assist with the development of Phase I and Phase II of
the campaign. The campaign challenges not only the communities
to improve and/or develop clean environments, walking trails,
and promote healthier choices, but also provides resources
to CHC interdisciplinary teams managing and preventing chronic
disease, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and depression.
The Health Life-styles Campaign also provides
culturally, literacy and linguistically appropriate educational
materials, and resources for patient self-management. The
campaign includes a 30 second TV/radio spot, "It Takes
More Than You", exercise program and nutritional guidance.
