Health Promotion Perspectives with HP Mgr Tolulope Oluyemi

When people hear or think about Health Promotion (and we know most people don't) it is probably related to the workshops they may have taken, the briefings they may have had to sit through (trust us - we don't love annual briefings either!) or maybe a booth where we were making or handing out samples of food, or talking about Bell Let's Talk or something similar. But what is Health Promotion really all about, particularly here in Edmonton? 

If this burning question has been keeping you up at night (and we know it has), then this is the episode for you! Our amazing HP Manager, Tolulope Oluyemi is joining me to talk about his work in health promotion before coming to Canada and ways that we are working to shift what and how we are doing things here. It's a hopeful, fun and informative conversation that will hopefully leave you wanting to both know more and do more, when it comes to creating health promoting habits or opportunities in your life or at your unit!
