Recommended: Importance of health education to the promotion of community health

In the paper below, I will enlighten the reader on how I plan to get my health education program into the community of Effingham County and the resources that I will need to make this happen. I will also explain the impact that the program will have on the community and how I will evaluate the effects of the program after implementation. Getting my Program into the Community There are several main steps to getting my program enacted. First, I would make the program proposal as simple as possible. Then I am going to need a good sponsor such as my County Commissioner Forest Floyd and the Mayors of the three cities, Rincon, Springfield, and Guyton, within Effingham County (Effingham County, 2014). In addition, I also need a major health sponsor to get behind me. For this I have chosen a group called Action Communities for Health, Innovation and Environmental Change (ACHIEVE). This group collaborates with city and county health officials, city and county governments and other local health related programs to implement health improvements in the community. I believe working with this group and the local health department and officials would give my program the punch that it needs to be implemented (Action Communities for Health, Innovation and Environmental Change, 2014). I will also need to have the community support. I will need to generate support in my program by calling or visiting all the local healthcare providers in my community and getting them behind the program as the more the community supports more likely to get my program enacted. I will need the citizen of Effingham County behind me as well. I can set up information stations outside local businesses to educate the community on genital herpes and genera... ... middle of paper ... ...ful or if we need to make any changes in the ways that we are presenting the program in the community. Conclusion I am a firm believer that by educating the public will lead to a lower number of young people contracting the disease. Therefore, I will do my best to get this program introduced into my community so that we can make this a reality and possibly prevent the young people of Effingham County from having to deal with this incurable disease.

    “They’ve done it before and they did it tonight and they’ll do it again and when they do it-seems that only the children weep.” (Lee-285) Ideas have not been engraved in children’s heads which allows them to see the world as a bright, confusing place. I chose Scout as the character for my memory box because she tells “To kill A Mockingbird” with a sweet child’s view. She does not understand why there are prejudices and why some people are treated different than others. School, Atticus, and the courtroom taught Scout many lessons that she will never forget. The memory box itself is Mrs.Dubose’s candy box that she had given to Jem. For readers to see the book in an innocent, childish way during the 1930’s must have changed the way many people felt about how the country treated African Americans. Harper Lee made a very wise decision to tell this amazing story through the eyes of a child.

  • The Failure of Vertical Health Programing

    1261 Words  | 3 Pages

    A vertical public health program is a public health strategy where the majority of a health organization’s resources and expenses are concentrated to addressing one pressing health issue. Vertical public health programs generally foster the initiative to eradicate epidemic or pandemic disease. Understanding how a vertical programming is applied will allow public health practitioners to tailor health programs and initiatives to populations more efficiently and effectively. Advantages of vertical programming include harboring and dealing with singular goals as well as obtaining easily measurable progress towards the overall operation. Because of this, as well as the effective end result of vertical programing in achieving its goal, public health professionals can attain to its success as a program. However, vertical public health programs divert resources from other health institutions, therefore weakening the progress towards treating other medical problems. Therefore, this approach may have aspects of it that are appealing, yet it frequently neglects other issues and makes them seem less important, which should not be the case. In the case of a vertical program failing, as seen in the Hookworm Eradication Initiative, not only does the eradication of a disease not come to fruition, but treatment towards other ailments, for example, are hindered. Vertical programming draws resources and expertise away from primary care and the prevention of public health problems, contributing to the exacerbation of illnesses due to lack of sanitation, nutrition, and primary prevention, and is therefore inefficient.

    There are several accidents and stories we hear because we are such a small community. These are the things I would like our program to prevent and fix. The program will be called Allow Life to Thrive, Don’t Drink and Drive. It will be a program that meets once a week, for six months. This will give us plenty of time to help restore victims of alcoholism and bring them back to their regular everyday lives, without alcohol taking over anymore. We all know a family member, friend, or acquaintance that has suffered from alcoholism whether they like to admit it or not. A lot of the people that suffer from alcoholism do not get the help they need and it creates problems in relationships, friendships, and everyday life. This is due to the alcoholics only wanting one thing, one more drink. Together we can help Licking County and restore people’s lives back to reality, and let them have more to their day besides being dependent on alcohol. Overall, the issues that we face as a community do not only affect the alcoholics and their family and friends, but it also affects all of the other people that they pass and encounter while they drive intoxicated. These things I have stated are what I have high hopes that my program will prevent and put an end

    There are numerous public health problems that can be addressed in my Southside of Chicago community. Among the several public health problems facing my Southside of Chicago community there are two that are more urgent. Health education or one might say lack thereof is a problem that needs to be addressed.
