Religious congregations are good heart-health education partners.

"Working with Religious Congregations: A Guide for Health Professionals" shows how to contact and recruit congregation members, train volunteer teams within congregations, implement effective cardiovascular disease prevention programs, sustain momentum for continued activity, and monitor and evaluate congregation-based programs. The guide builds on lessons learned from church-based demonstration programs supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

Certified health education specialists (CHES) may receive 3 credit hours in category 1 by reading the Guide and completing a quiz.
