Porter’s Education Department is dedicated to providing Northwest Indiana residents with the information and support they need to make informed health and wellness decisions.

Each month, our Education Department offers free health screenings, such as blood pressure, blood sugar, lung capacity, stroke, and skin cancer screenings, at a variety of locations throughout Porter County and into Jasper County. Our educators regularly present special programs on a variety of topics, including "Hormone Replacement and a Healthy Heart," "Prostate Health Awareness," "Controlling Your Asthma," and "Advances in Alzheimer’s Diagnosis and Treatment."

StayHealthy is Porter’s health and wellness magazine, and features information about a variety of health-related topics as well as Porter’s programs and services. StayHealthy is produced by Porter’s Public Relations Department and is delivered to nearly 80,000 Northwest Indiana households by direct mail.

In order to help parents and caregivers better protect their children when traveling, Porter’s Education Department now operates a permanent car seat fitting station. A car seat fitting station is a site where parents or caregivers make appointments to have trained staff assist them with proper car seat use and installation.
