This will involve some of the key city officials because they will have to create a comprehensive plan and budget for the program. Another long-term plan will involve creating a local organic farm in a central location where the land is underutilized or presents a challenge to the local developers. This would include an area on Church road zoned for residential use that currently has a small corn farm. Also, taking a cue from the action plan in Detroit, Michigan some of the abandoned homes or business will be torn down in favor of creating smaller organic farms that the local residents would be responsible for maintaining (Jackson, 2011). Fenton High School has some undeveloped land that will be turned into an organic farm where the students could maintain it and use it as an educational tool along with one of the student parking lots that could be used for the same purpose. All students can park a block away at the Water Park District as most of them do during the school year and walk which would give them another few minutes of physical activity. Creating more divisions with sidewalks would be part of the long-term project however not the most important

The prevalence of diabetes according to the CDC is 26 million Americans currently diagnosed with diabetes, 79 million with pre-diabetes, and 7 million unaware they have diabetes.1 Diabetes is currently more prevalent in the western countries due to physical inactivity and obesity, but as more Eastern countries develop the western lifestyle it becomes an increasing worldwide epidemic.1 The risk for developing type 2 diabetes increases with age (especially after age 40), but is increasing most rapidly in the adolescent and young generation.1 It is therefore critical that education as well as drug therapies are implemented to decrease the rising prevalence of this illness.

The purpose of this study is to research the disease Type 2 Diabetes and to discover whether it is being effectively treated and prevented in Merced County, California. According to the National Institutes of Health, Diabetes Mellitus is “a lifelong (chronic) disease in which there are high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood. It is also the most common form of Diabetes”.1 Furthermore, there are many risk and lifestyle factors associated with this disease, but the most prevalent are; obesity (#1 risk factor), sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy eating habits, family history and genetics, increased age, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and a history of gestational diabetes.2 The long term complications of having type 2 diabetes can include but are not limited to; eye problems (cataracts and glaucoma), foot problems (neuropathy/ nerve damage), skin problems (infections), high blood pressure (which raises your risk for heart attack, stroke, eye problems and kidney disease), hearing loss, oral health, mental health and early death.3
Diabetes has been a growing problem for many years among adults in the United States. There is a growing number of Hispanic being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Hispanic people are at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes than non-Hispanic people (American 2013). Type 2 diabetes, in Hispanic should be addressed because the disease can be prevented. This disease can lead to number of medical problems if it goes untreated or if significant life style changes aren’t made. Simple changes can be made to prevent getting this disease. Such as, adding more fresh fruits and vegetables, drinking more water and limiting fast food intake (American 2013). Losing excess weight is an excellent way to reduce developing type 2 diabetes. A good way to do this is getting the whole family involved in biking or walking. If this issue isn’t addressed more people will develop the disease, that is preventable. Another result of this would be that the government will have to budget more money towards healthcare.

As society develops, people do not stop seeking access to healthcare services in order to ensure a better quality of life. With largely diverse populations, the Bronx has emerged to be a widely populated community in New York City. As a result, the challenges present in the community are overpopulation, polluted environment, excessive fast food chains, and noise pollution due to various transportations that are a root cause of many healthcare problems. One of the most significant is diabetes and the Bronx in particular has turned into the biggest epicenter of New York City’s diabetes crisis. Since diabetes has exploded into an alarming epidemic all over the country, it has become a formidable disease and also the seventh leading cause of death with multiple life-threatening complications and consequences for American society nowadays. Being a national priority concern, diabetes needs to be controlled to provide healthy communities for the American people, particularly residents located geographically in the Bronx community in New York.
Janet Dobbs, Vice President of the Greater Euclid Little Theatre (GELT), proposed a budget to the GELT board members, within the proposed budget, Janet Dobbs addressed four points, the first issue was regarding the unrealistic estimates for revenue and expenditures, in the second point, Dobbs should the contrasts of the expenditures and revenues over the past six years. Third, the debt crisis was addressed, and how just balancing the 2002 budget would not eliminate the crisis. Lastly, the budget touched upon the expenditure to reduce debt and increase profit. The board rejected the budget for many reasons. The budget reduced expenditures, most of the board members wanted to increase Spaulding’s salary, which was not included in the budget, and some believe that revenue for GELT would increase if the theatre sold every ticket for performances. Board members like Roberta Mackie, said “by limiting revenue projections, the budget committee was “constraining our ability to dream” and that “high revenue estimates would give the organization incentive to work to make them come true”.

Diabetes is a common disease, which can be a serious, life-long illness caused by high levels of glucose in the blood. This condition is when the body cannot produce insulin or lack of insulin production from the beta cells in the islet of Langerhans in the pancreas. Diabetes can cause other health problems over time. Eye, kidneys, and nerves can get damaged and chances of stroke are always high. Because of the serious complications, the purposes of teaching a plan for diabetes patients are to optimize blood glucose control, optimize quality of life, and prevent chronic and potentially life-threatening complications.
