Wellness is a philosophy and way of life that
allows individuals to reach their full potential for optimal well-being.
Recognizing that individuals have become increasingly health conscious
and are seeking new ways to improve their health and prevent illness,
Monmouth Medical Center's Department of Community Health Education
has developed the following programs to assist the community in
fulfilling their health goals.

Baby-sitting/Safe Sitter
A workshop designed to assist boys and girls age 10 and up to acquire
the skills to become responsible, knowledgeable baby-sitters. Topics
include basic care principles, play techniques, basic first aid,
a CPR demonstration and tips for child safety.
Safe Sitter, a nationally recognized program,
teaches 11 to 13 year-olds to be responsible, creative and attentive
baby-sitters. Because Safe Sitter's goal is to reduce accidental
and preventable deaths of children being cared for by baby-sitters,
it places special emphasis on how to handle emergencies. During
the program, youngsters learn the following:
- Safety Precautions
- Care For A Choking Infant or Child
- Recognizing Emergencies
- Calling For Emergency Help
Participants will receive instruction materials,
a program completion certificate and a subscription to Safe Sitter
magazine. The class will end with a graduation ceremony. A snack
will be provided, and participants are asked to bring lunch.
Safe Sitter Fee: $50/Child

Cholesterol Screening

set by the National Cholesterol Education Program.
