The EHW Program provides information on health-related topics through a variety of media, such as conferences, calls, bulletin boards, videos and a variety of classes. Literature shows that one of the most successful methods of providing information on a variety of health-related topics is a monthly newsletter. Newsletters are written to educate, motivate and produce behavior change.

The cost of the shipping must be included in the order. The newsletter will be customizable with the EHW Program masthead, logo and contact information that will be provided by the EHW Program. Program logo and information will be displayed on front page. The newsletter will be visually appealing with full color pictures, attractive formatting and easy to read fonts. The EHW Program will be provided column space to create a monthly article with program information.
