One
of the course requirements for students in the Personal and Community
Health course at Bristol Community College
(BCC) is to do some type of community project that improves the health
of the community. Students in the Fall 2009 class elected to participate in a clean-up of
one of Fall River parks and chose Kelly
Park in the City's South End. Working in teams, the students made
quick work of cleaning the park of litter and trash on October 19th. This event addresses one of the
Healthy City priority areas of
Cleaner Streets and Parks
throughout the city The
course helps the student develop standards and principles of good health
for the adult based on scientific
research. It provides for study in attitudes and practices as they
influence effective living, common
adult health problems, significant diseases and public health
responsibilities, community health and
services, and special problems of concern in the area of community health
in a democratic society. For more
information about the course, contact instructor Janice Velozo,
M.Ed. at 508-730-9289. |
