HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah – Taking care of our health is part of everyday life, not just when we visit a doctor, clinic or hospital. Health literacy can help prevent health problems, protect our health and better manage problems when they arise.

Civilian Health Promotion Service’s health education classes have been created to provide education, resources and opportunity for participants to ask questions one-on-one or in a group setting.

Join Hill CHPS for an October health education class to learn more. You can attend a scheduled event or set up an event in your location.
