Programs
The RocDoc’s goal is to augment the health curriculum taught in schools with a full range of assembly programs, concerts and classroom workshops. Dr. Eskin also has available products for reinforcement of this health message,
including CDs and accompanying teacher’s lesson plans if needed.
Best of all, the RocDoc show can be tailored to suit specific educational objectives. Prominent examples include the American Lung Association's asthma and smoking show and American Heart Association sponsored “Heart Health" shows, both developed a very specific educational agendas in mind.
The usefulness of the RocDoc concept cannot be underestimated, especially with the increasing need for individual awareness and health literacy.
The programs are also excellent fundraising tools.
At PTA sponsored concert/events for children, their parents are as well as the local community served by the PTA.
Dr. Eskin has worked extensively with and has been endorsed by many nonprofit associations, such as the New York Board of Education, the New York Department of Health, the American lung Association, the American Heart Association and Arts America/Project Arts.
