Case Study: Immediate Surrounding Community

Crawford County, Kansas is very familiar to me; it is where I was born and raised and now, as an adult, it is where I work as a nurse. Barriers to healthcare exists in every community. There is a high amount of poverty in Crawford County that contributes to barriers to access to healthcare. Furthermore, Crawford County has several stakeholders that influence the health of the community and advanced practice registered nurse (ARNP) practice. In this assessment of my community, I will identify Crawford County, as well as prevalent health care barriers and important stakeholders in my community.

1) Because of differing state policies when approaching multiple languages, Belgium only gains antagonism from multiple languages while Switzerland has more unity. Belgium gives autonomy to regions based on the two differing languages they speak, which creates more difference. Switzerland has four national languages, because they are using their diversity as a unifying factor rather than a dividing one.

The organization I choose is Dignity Health Mercy Medical Center Redding (MMCR), located in Northern California. MMCR 2014 Community Health Needs Assessment Report is easy to read and understand. They provided the picture of the community they are serving and what are the problems that need priority. The hospital catered on communities in Shasta, Tehama and Trinity County. What I noticed is that the community they are serving is mostly Caucasian (79.6%), only 11% Hispanic. Out of the 209, 900 population, 17.3% were uninsured, 21.7% on Medi-cal with 10.9% unemployment rate. Most of the people seeking medical help go to the Emergency Department for non-acute medical services. MMCR priority is to have a community-based collaboration with other non-profit organization will address the existing problem the community is facing and to provide a long-term plan that will benefit the community in the future.

From my understanding, gentrification is when wealthy people come to an already established area and begin to change the character and raise the value cost in the area. People who are the gentrifiers claim that they lower crime rate and have the communities best interest in mind. During the process of gentrification, the area has a large increase in rent or housing prices. Lower income families are phased out because their wages stay the same as the living prices rise. It tends to happen most commonly in communities that are not desirable.

Oshawa Ontario is a city of just over 150,000 people located about 40 minutes East of Toronto. Oshawa is most widely known for the General Motors car plant that has been there as long as anyone can remember. To me though, Oshawa is not just the home of General Motors, it is also my home.

know what they look like, what their venom does, and what action to take if bitten. There are four types of venomous snakes in the area; they are all classified as Pit Vipers: Copperhead, Cottonmouth, Timber Rattle Snake and Pygmy Rattlesnake (Powers, 2014). Ticks, brown recluse spiders, and black widow spiders also pose potential health threats to members of the community (“Tennessee”, 2007).

I agree the supervisor’s created a hostile and disrespectful work environment. Ms. Faragher must not have known about the employer policy on how to report her supervisor’s for their harassing behavior. It appears Ms. Faragher did not follow the employer protocol or chain of command to give an account on the way she was being spoken to and for the unwanted advances and touching. Even though she waited to file a sexual harassment suit against the City of Boca Raton, the employer should be held accountable for the actions and harassment by their supervisors. Bill Terry, Davis Silverman and Robert Gordon knew about each other’s conduct. They took advantage of their authority by the way they carried on while in the work place and by the

This machines ranged from the table saw, to the orbital sander and the laser engraver. After I completed my chess board I decided that it was time to find a mentor. I felt the best candidate for my mentor was Ephraim Nikoi (an associate professor of Creative arts at University of Wisconsin-Superior). I chose Ephraim as my mentor because my project involved the creation of a product and the selling and marketing of said product. Ephraim had completed many years of studying creative arts and communication art. “Communication arts focuses on the many ways that people communicate with each other. This includes broad journalism, advertising, digital media and performing arts” (in text citation). He was the perfect candidate to be my mentor. By having Ephraim as my mentor I learned to create a detailed plan to effectively market my product. This plan included who my target audience was (a student body of 1,500 students), my means of advertising (the school newspaper and various social media sites), and how I planned to sell my chess board (online marketing through Amazon and possibly trying to get it into a

In 1793 Anderson township was founded by Pioneers near the mouth of the Little Miami River. The original founders moved west from Green County Pennsylvania. The township expanded into farming outposts such as Forestville, Sweetwine, Fruit Hill, (which is the particular section where my house is) and Cherry Grove. Though out the 1800s, large plots of woods in the area were cleared for hardwood and riverboat fuel. The clearing of the forest led to a rise in agricultural activities in the Township. Although the township remained fairly undeveloped until the suburbanization that took place at the end of WWII, this development was due in large part to the development of i-275 and i-471 which give residents of the tristate area direct routs downtown.

ELMIRA (WENY) - Plans are underway in the City of Elmira to help keep Ernie Davis' memory alive and visible.

Community around the brownfields could really benefit from the BCP. From social aspect, population of the city could increase as the job opportunities increases. For example, the completion of Solar City could attract thousands and thousands of people to move here and revitalize the city itself. Other than that, it also improves neighborhood appearance. The city of Buffalo uses park system for the neighborhood which means you could see park almost everywhere when you are travelling in Buffalo. By redevelop brownfields area, there will be no more abandoned buildings or factories. For example, the old paper box factory in 500 Seneca had been redeveloped into offices and apartments.

On my visit to the Dunwoody campus, I could not wait to look around. I've been attending the Math and Science Academy for seven years. Even before my sixth grade year, I have always enjoyed constructing things, playing with building blocks, and making little robots. On the night of my sixth grade orientation, I visited my school to be and was surprised when I walked in the front door. I was greeted by an eight foot tall robot made by high school students. They were part of the program called For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST). I
