first assignment 
Planning Models
TO: Agency Health Education and Health Promotion Personnel
FROM: The Director
RE: Planning Models
I am concerned that we always seem to be a day late and a dollar short in implementing our health promotion programs.

I’d like for you to develop a PERT chart for a community based smoking cessation program.
I also am not sure that the diagnosis stage of our planning is adequate. Use the PRECEED model to prepare an educational diagnosis of lung cancer.

Thank you.
