Community
Health
Promotion Specialists
ADH
and Hometown Health Improvement continue to broaden
efforts to work with schools in support of Act 1220.
The Community Health Promotion Specialists
(CHPS) are employed by the Arkansas Department of
Health and housed in the Educational Cooperative.
The Arkansas Department of Health hires these
positions with input from the Department of Education
and the Education Cooperative.
Currently six CHPS are located at strategic,
targeted locations around the state.
The CHPS in the Central Region is located with
the ADH Central Region since there is no Educational
Cooperative for Pulaski County.
This
position will work with schools, community coalitions,
health care providers, and the Hometown Health
Regional Team to address the problem of childhood
obesity. The primary focus of this position will be
working with schools and the community to support the
implementation of physical activity and nutrition
standards and policies approved by the State Board of
Health and the State Board of Education.
