Our Community Health Program provides a comprehensive process for fulfilling HumanaNatura’s fourth natural health technique – Natural Communities – in our four-part natural health system, and works to encourage HumanaNatura’s social ethos of cooperation for health at a community level.
To achieve these outcomes, the program guides action in four critical areas, forming a complete and progressive process for science-based community health promotion:

As with HumanaNatura’s Personal Health Program for individuals, the combined effect of these health promotion activities is the cultivation of positive and reinforcing cycles of improving human health and well-being. In essential ways, our process for advancing community health is similar to what HumanaNatura calls, in our program for personal health, the implementation and advancement of a Natural Life Plan.
In our Community Health Program, the community-level equivalent of an individual Natural Life Plan – which we call a Community Health Agenda – is created and then progressively implemented, refined, and evolved. The approach will be familiar to people using our Personal Health Program, but has been adapted to the unique settings that are human communities and encompasses additional scientific disciplines essential to effective public health promotion.
Just as with an individual Natural Life Plan, each Community Health Agenda will differ in content from other communities, based on the community’s specific and immediate health promotion needs and opportunities. All Community Health Agendas are also similarly expected to change over time, as a community pursues and makes progress on its most urgent and actionable health issues – and thus creates a new health landscape or context from which to promote its health.
Although Community Health Agendas will vary across communities and change over time, all HumanaNatura community health efforts ultimately seek the same outcome: ongoing and progressive improvement in the conditions that foster health, well-being, and quality of life in our local and regional communities, and the global society they form in total.
We hope you benefit from our Community Health Program and wish you success in your efforts to explore and advance healthier and more vital communities. We encourage your questions and discussions of issues you face, whenever they arise, in the important work of fostering modern Natural Communities.
