Community Outreach and Presentations

Health education staff develop media campaigns and presentations on a variety of topics with the goal of giving Escambia citizens the tools they need to achieve optimal health and prevent chronic diseases.

A special emphasis is placed on obesity and diabetes prevention. Health educators and registered dietitians are available to speak at civic meetings or provide information at community health fairs and events. 

Please print, complete, and submit a Presentation Request Form at least two months before your event date.
