When people think of their environment people think of their immediate surroundings; however, one's environment goes beyond and further into the psychological connection to one's personal environment.

Assessing the county population for a 4.31% growth in the over 65 age group (which is a low estimate, due to the large 45-64 group within the county), and including an additional facility for the Carter Village’s 110 new assisted living program, the number of available beds in 5 years appears to be 686, compared to a demand of 814. Although this facility appears to assist this problem, there still is a need for 128 additional beds for long term care.

First and foremost, lack of indigenous food security is based on their economic poverty because of their isolated location, high shipping costs and the health impact that comes from this isolation and low income. Kangiqsujuaq is an isolated community in the northern most part of Quebec. The community is predominately indigenous people. In a questionnaire given to the inhabitants of this area, it was found that due to their economic status the residents were reducing their food consumption every month because of high cost and low income (Brown et al., 2012). Because of these findings, it was concluded that their food insecurity was chronic rather than temporary, and this is consistent with poverty related to unemployment and under-employment,

Food insecurity is a growing problem in Australia’s modern society even though many of us do not even realise. Nutrition is important for a healthy life style but when only two thirds of the land is actually farmable we start to see that less then 4% of people are actually getting all the nutrients needed, to actually be healthy. With Australian soil lacking phosphorus and nitrogen we find it harder to grow crops meaning more people in Australia are going hungry, or starting to become food insecure then there should be. Many factors can lead to someone becoming food insecure, these factors include; climate change, land degradation and water scarcity. Whilst Australia is still a food secure nation there are still many issues threatening our food security.

Food security is a factor that is often a risk for indigenous groups as many groups fall into a bracket that holds 5% of the population that have food security issues.[8] Proper nutrition is vital for good health and wellbeing as well as a better quality of life. Therefore, it is imperative that proper nutrition through foods is readily available to the entire population. If the food security situation continues to worsen then there will be an increasing number of health issues that arise throughout the indigenous community continuously.

In this paper there will be a brief discussion of three forces that have affected the development of the U.S healthcare system. It will observe whether or not these forces will continue to have an effect on the U.S healthcare system over the next decade. This paper will also include an additional force, which may be lead to believe to have an impact on the health care system of the nation. And lastly this paper will evaluate the importance of technology in healthcare.
Given the fact that the United states of America and Canada are linked together sharing a border which is open basically to and from both sides, their health care systems are highly different from each other and how the services are financed, organized and given to the citizens.
