How can I get involved?
To implement the full campaign at your installation or in your community, you will need a Point of Contact, or POC.
POC
The Point of Contact, or POC, is responsible for implementing the campaign throughout his or her installation or community. This person should have a great interest in health promotion, and have access to places families frequently visit. The POC will complete training and receive certification and a guide to help him or her implement the campaign throughout his or her installation or community.
The 5210 health promotion campaign has parallel toolkits for implementation on a military installation and in a civilian community. Consider which toolkit best fits your needs and get started!
