The creation of community health promotion and education programs takes into consideration several agencies or parties who help in the achievement of the desired health goals. Each of the partners will address its roles using different approaches depending on their area of expertise. This is an important factor to consider as different institutions address health promotion using different approaches and perspectives. The overall outcome from the contribution of every partner should be able to restore and promote the physical, emotional, spiritual, psychological, and social wellness of the community in relation to the health issue being suffered (Minelli, & Breckon, 2009). Chronic diseases are currently the leading causes of death in the community due to their complexity and the severe effects on human health. The community health promotion and education program will be provided by the ‘Health Concerns Coalition’ which will be made up of the following partners; community religious groups, Cancer Supportive Care Foundation, an association of cancer-survivor patients, nutritional organizations, and the local authority.

1. Cancer Supportive Care Foundation – This is an important part of the coalition as it will offer technical expertise in education and diagnosis of chronic diseases. The foundation team will include medical experts who will diagnose the community members of any chronic illnesses. Examinations for diseases such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, diabetes and blood pressure will be conducted by this partner as they will provide modern machines needed for the diagnosis of chronic illnesses.

2. Community religious groups – Community religious groups carry the highest percentage of the community’s population. The reason for incorporation of this partner is because they will be able to reach to most of the community whether Christians, Muslim, Jewish, or Hindu. As provided by the United States Department of Education in the Regional Education Network, the members of the partnership should equally represent the community in terms of race, culture, and perspective (NoAuthorFound. 2012).

3. Non-profit Nutrition organization – The leading cause of chronic illness is an unhealthy lifestyle. The role main role of the Nutritional organization is to advise people on healthy eating and living habits. This organization will present to the community different health improvement strategies they can use as well as advise them on the benefits of adhering to these approaches. Also, the community will be trained on various physical exercises that the community members could engage in to maintain body fitness. This organization will supply the community with some of the healthy foods which will help them start a health feeding program in their households.

4. Cancer survivors association – It is important to include this part of the community in the community health promotion and education program to enhance the sharing of information about the different chronic illnesses and their effect on human life. Hearing from people who have experienced and survived these health conditions, the community will pay more attention to the information being given. It will also be a way with share hope to people who have been affected that there is always hope of surviving any chronic illness.

5. The legal authority – Involving the area authority will ensure adequate sharing of information about the community health and education program. Also, the authority will be a good source of moral and financial support which can be beneficial to the program in gathering adequate facilitation.
