The Community Health program
is for those who want to teach others how to lead healthier lives.
With the knowledge that our lifestyles affect our health, well-being,
and longevity, Americans have an increased interest in practicing
healthier lifestyles to improve the quality of life.
As a health promotion professional, you will inform and motivate
people to lead healthy lifestyles. Your duties may include assessing,
planning, implementing and evaluating community health education
programs and services. Whether you work in a classroom or a health
agency, you will need an academic preparation in health sciences and
educational, organizational and leadership skills. You must also be
able to work effectively with people.

The Health Administration
program is for those with an interest in health care
and a strong desire to serve the community. Perhaps you have even
worked as a nurse, emergency medical technician or medical assistant
and now want to advance your career.
Central Michigan's health administration program will prepare you for
a variety of entry or middle level health service management
positions. Health service managers strive to provide cost effective,
quality care to their community members. Your community members will
rely on your leadership and management skills as health care delivery
systems become increasingly complex.
Individuals who are skilled in reasoning, writing and problem solving
will be prepared to compete for health administration positions. Those
with a genuine concern for the welfare of humanity, who have respect
for people from all backgrounds and cultures will excel in this public
service career.
