Abstract
A combination of forces favor the expansion of health education efforts in hospitals. This article describes four areas of health education in clinical settings: the justification for a health educator in this setting; his preparation; his role as a member of the health care team; and the extended role of the educator in the community, with voluntary and official agencies, and with families of patients.
