The Best Health School at Kingsbrook
Kingsbrook's
Best Health School is a new prevention and wellness initiative that provides a year-long
health & wellness curriculum for the community. This unique model
provides a wide range of wellness education to choose from, including
essential classes for CPR and Stroke Awareness. The program is designed
to build a heightened awareness to health disparities and risk factors,
and it offers a certificate of completion to participants. This effort
is supported and championed by Kingsbrook's Community Leadership Council,
which is comprised of members of the community, faith leaders, and health
partners who share our mission of providing the very best prevention and
wellness modules to our community. We offer classes on site as well as
