The merits of keeping people healthy are clear from a physiological and psychological standpoint. But the material value of a healthy population is equally certain-healthy people save society and industry money. The rising cost of medical care has forced the healthcare and insurance industries to evaluate wellness strategies.

Health promotion is founded on the philosophy of education, prevention, and enabling people and communities to improve their health. Wellness experts and health educators work hard to help the public understand and maintain healthy living standards. They attempt to balance the psychological, cultural, and social aspects of health behavior through exercise, weight management, nutrition, smoking cessation, and many other programs. The strategic tools of the health promotion professional are assessment, behavior change and health communication methodologies, program planning, implementation, evaluation, and program administration.

Graduates are employed in positions including: health educator, public health educator, community health specialist, health promotion specialist or other similar titles and are employed by community-based organizations, nonprofit organizations, local, state and federal government agencies, hospitals, and managed care organizations. Health promotion is a field with several disciplines, and the level and type of position attained will vary according to the background and experience of the graduate.
