Duties
 While at Oconee Memorial Wellness Center I completed two
projects along with many tasks around the office.
 My two projects I completed was Family Fun Night and
Teaching Health Classes to the hospital employees.
 Through this internship I learned what it takes to be a Health
Educator. I learned that everyday is different. I saw amazing
health changes that were accomplished through many tasks
that was organized by the Wellness Center.
 I logged client labs into diabetes chronicles, scanned and put
together patient lab work to be mailed out to them.
 I also helped to improve classes at the Wellness Center. I
looked over surveys that were completed at the end of each
class and talked about improvements to my preceptor.

6. + Family Fun Night
James Brown Elementary School
 I created a game called Eat the
Rainbow.
 The children and their family
would stand in a circle and pass
the ball to one another. When the
ball is caught, the individual
holding the ball had to shout out a
fruit or vegetable of the color that
their right hand landed on.
 The game was a great turn out. The
children and their parent
participated.
 The game taught new foods with
each color.
 Through the game I found that
children typically report eating fruits
and not vegetables.
 Pictured: Explaining rules of
the game.
