HPW Student Internship Experience – Kayla Hill 15′
\n<\/strong>Interning at The Johns Hopkins Hospital has been a valuable learning experience. With over 22,000 employees, health promotion programming is essential to establish awareness, increase education and promote healthier lifestyles. I have had the opportunity to enhance my skills in a variety of different areas. Helping plan the Health and Benefits fair was a large project where I worked closely with the Human Resource department to find vendors and establish vendor agreements. In addition, I was responsible for marketing the event with flyers and plasma screen advertisement. Another big project that I took ownership of, was planning monthly programs for the Pathology department. I constructed the programs based on aggregate health data obtained from a collection of health screenings and health surveys. After looking at the data and establishing health risk factors, I created monthly programs to target high risk individuals. One of the programs I ran was a hydration station to promote daily consumption of water (shown below). Tobacco cessation is another huge health concern for employees and their dependents at Johns Hopkins Hospital. I was responsible for ordering all the materials needed for the tobacco cessation packets and putting together the kits to send out to 600 employees. In addition, I went to a training where I became certified as a Fresh Start Tobacco Cessation Facilitator. I promoted our four week program with fliers and plasma screen advertisement. Towards the end of summer, I lead the tobacco cessation program, educating employees on how to quit tobacco products and provided them with useful tools to help them develop a quit plan and remain tobacco free.<\/p>\n
