SEARHC instructors
The three instructors for the CWA program also work in health promotion at SEARHC, which means they're able to bring their practical, on-the-job experience into the classroom. They organize community wellness events, teach nutrition, work on tobacco issues, do injury prevention checks and run physical activity programs.
