sorry still learning where things go in see this is where I put notes,

I can't agree with you on this, learn on just doesn't work in the sentence, it needs to be learn about.

I've decided to choose this answer because it's closer to what I've decided to use:
"where it's possible to learn about health..."
Many thanks!

where you learn on health...


Explicação:
A expressão "learn on" sugere um maior aprofundamento sobre os conteúdos do que a expressão "learn about". A primeira refere-se a um estudo mais exaustivo (como o tipo de ensino ministrado em instituições, universidades, hospitais...) do que a segunda (de carácter mais geral).

discordo  Michael and Raimunda Poe: never heard the expression learn on, you can learn about something you can't learn on not in English anyhow, let me preface this with I am not looking to pick a fight, sorry just can't agree with you on this, it is very awkward to say learn on

where you get training for


Explicação:
A less literal option:

"We are referring to health institutions where you get training for health practices and/or disease rehabilitation."

As far as I can see, the sentence is not clear as to whether the person will get training to help others or to improve his/her own condition... Maybe more context would be helpful for us to get a better idea of the whole picture.

NOTE TO ASKER:

Hi, Daisy!

I've just read your note and I believe that in such case it would be easier to somehow say that the facilities offer training programs, 'cause it keeps the broad sense of the sentence. It could be a classroom setting with a teacher or an online course. It also give you the idea that it can be either a program for healthcare providers or for people that went through it themselves. Being a Brazilian PT native speaker, I get the "educar pra" meaning, which I personally find to be a marketing/advertising kind of slogan, but it is not a very objective expression when we have to translate it.

Well, good luck! :)

Consulente: There's no other context available... this is all I have. This is the abstract of a paper on education and health institutions. In Portuguese it is common to say "educar para a cidadania/saúde/etc", meaning that the focus of education should be on citizenship/health, respectively.
