Complete the Sentence! Health means… Taking care of yourself and being able to live your life to the fullest. A healthy community is… One with united people who look out for each other. The biggest health challenge in Filipino communities today is… The lack of access to proper healthcare and health information. Nurses can change communities by… Making use of their skills and knowledge to help communities.
