The Covid-19 pandemic requires that interactions between individuals must be limited so that interactions change by using electronic and virtual communication media. The same thing happened to health services, where education and health services began to become proficient in using internet-based communication technology, both social media and other applications. The purpose of this community service program is to develop health education materials and materials related to diseases of the respiratory, cardiovascular and hematologic systems, which are then conveyed to at-risk groups and the general public as educational material. The stages include the preparation/planning stage, the development stage of educational materials and media, the program implementation stage and the evaluation stage. All of these stages were carried out virtually within 8 weeks. The results of this community service program not only provide benefits to the general public using social media, but also provide alternative media/edulation media for health workers to continue to carry out their role as health educators for the community.
