Community Education Programs
CVI organizes community education programs for patients, their families and the general public - to heighten awareness as to what they can do to help themselves and their loved ones reduce or avoid the effects of heart disease.
Our Progams for 2010 will include:
- Community Nutrition Education Program: February-April
CVI’s Nutrition Education Program was the first Community Education program developed by CVI, and we are pleased to be able to continue its success after almost a decade. This grant opportunity partners the CVI with community organizations: YMCAs, worksites, retirement communities, etc. to provide cardiovascular and nutrition education during February, March, and April. - Heart & Soul: Year Round
CVI uses the Heart & Soul program to provide cardiovascular risk reduction education, counseling and follow up support to at- risk, populations in faith community settings throughout the extended greater Philadelphia Region.
