Abstract

This study investigates the role of radiologic technologists in health promotion and disease prevention at Lorma Medical Center and Ilocos Training and Regional Medical Center, focusing on their activities in patient education, radiation safety, health campaigns, professional growth, early detection, and advocacy to public health. Data were collected through structured questionnaires to evaluate the consistency and effectiveness of these activities. The results show that while radiologic technologists excel in patient education and radiation safety, there are opportunities for improvement in health campaigns and lifestyle education. Overall, the findings underscore their significant contribution to public health and suggest that enhancing professional development and community outreach could further optimize their impact on health outcomes. In conclusion, radiologic technologists are essential in enhancing patient outcomes and reducing chronic disease risk through health promotion activities, and it is crucial to support their involvement and strategically enhance their practices to achieve better public health outcomes.
