IHA Educational Programs
The Ithaca Health Alliance education program receives high marks from the community. This program has sponsored events at intervals during the past several years, making them open to everyone, and three years ago also undertook the publication of a quarterly newsletter. The newsletter is either mailed or emailed to members. In an effort to fulfill its commitment of education of the community at large, IHA distributes without charge copies of the newsletter to local coffee shops and other public places. As part of this program, IHA has funded the acquisition of books focused on health promotion by the Tompkins County Public Library and the Durland Alternatives Library at Cornell.

Famous quotes containing the words educational and/or programs:
“I am not willing to be drawn further into the toils. I cannot accede to the acceptance of gifts upon terms which take the educational policy of the university out of the hands of the Trustees and Faculty and permit it to be determined by those who give money.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
