HISTORICAL

The Société ÉducoSanté was founded in 1993 to fill the void that exists in the area of disease prevention through healthy lifestyles.
Its president, Dr. Guy Bohémier, Ph.D., has created two very specific sections to achieve this goal: a training school that offers a course in health management and a group of prevention professionals. This last grouping consists of the Practitioner Members of the Société ÉducoSanté. Graduates of the training school can join the Practitioner Members.

GOAL

The société ÉducoSanté aims to promote the correct management of lifestyle habits. Its purpose is to maintain and improve health, as well as prevent disease.
