Healthcare Providers
Research has shown that primary care providers can and should play an important role in obesity prevention because they are in a unique position to partner with patients and families/caregivers and influence key components of developing community support. To be effective, we know that healthcare providers need tools and resources that are evidence-based, practical, accessible, and inclusive.
Introducing the 5210 messages in the healthcare office not only provides a credible location for the messages, it also emphasizes the important role healthcare professionals can play in supporting healthy behaviors.
The 5210 program can be easily woven into a practice’s busy day. We provide everything you need to get started, including a brief training for the entire staff. Once you become a registered site, you’ll have access to a free toolkit full of resources for staff and families, training by a physician champion, and technical assistance from a Health Educator. By getting involved with 5210 Healthy Washoe you’ll join a network of organizations just like yours, working to improve the health of our community.
