As indicated from the article “Expert Voices” (2015), including the subtitle of what we do to end health disparities is a merit question for everybody to ask and then act and think about it. As a community nurse, my potent goal is to work with people in the community, dig down deeply to find the root of the problems, inform the people and solve it (Alvaro, C., 2014).

As a medical assistant at a nonprofit clinic in Washington, D.C. I have seen firsthand how rampant diseases such as hypertension and diabetes are in disadvantaged communities. I am not naive enough to believe that such diseases can one day be fully eradicated from disadvantaged communities, but I do think that we can try harder to reduce them. I want to join a network of people who share my vision of improving preventive medicine in disadvantaged communities and for that reason I am choosing to pursue a career in osteopathic

In addition, to the Disparities Standing Committee, implement proposals for incentivizing preventive care and primary care. Giving a patient a goal with a reward attached may sound silly but in hindsight, it actually motivates the individual to stay healthy which decreases visits to the hospital. More importantly, rearranging shared plans to fit a more aggressive design in which includes lower fees. However, it is imperative that organizations stress the collaboration between clinical and non-clinical entities. “Conduct demonstration projects to test payment and delivery system reform interventions to reduce disparities. Commitment to social justice is essential to achieve health equity, but insufficient without a strong business case that makes interventions financially feasible” (Chin, 2016).

It aims to identify issues that policy makers want to deal with. While policy makers are in session, the representatives from the organization spend a great deal of time at the capitol sitting in on the committee meetings and listening to the debates on the floor. They determine areas in which the policy makers need research to deal with future policy issues that will help to form a debate. Their policy agenda is driven by the needs of policy makers. They are selective about what they are going to do research on. Mrs. Hanna explains how some issues are really important, but they are so political or emotional that it doesn’t matter what the research says. These types of issues are avoided. Budgets are not typically set for projects. On the other hand, the organization has an operational

As a Senior Policy Advisor, one of my most substantial contributions to the Office of National AIDS Policy (ONAP), The White House was my work on the Intersection of HIV, Violence Against Women, and Gender Related Health Disparities. In collaboration with the Office of the Vice President and the White House Council on Women and Girls, I led the effort across the federal agencies and departments but re-invigorated the federal and community partners around this issue. I partnered with policy leaders and experts across all the Federal Agencies (including HHS, HUD, DOJ, DOE, OMB, and VA) to write and develop the first annual report on federal activities across the federal government in response to the Presidential Memorandum and Federal recommendations on this topic. Released in October 2014, this report not only reflects the tremendous achievements made across the federal government, but laid out a blue print for success for the next year. These goals include increasing screening for HIV and Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) across the federal government and in the community, scaling up Trauma-informed-Care in HIV clinics, and focusing new programs on empowering young women and girls of color – that live in high HIV prevalence areas by providing them with new economic/educational opportunities, to keep them in school and hopefully decrease HIV incidence in this population. To achieve success, I needed to be a strong leader and partner with both federal and community
