Fortunately, this condition is treatable, and asthma can be controlled. It is important that the community physicians and teachers take charge and develop action plans and educational programs to give the parents the tools to empower their children. By empowering the children to take responsibility for their condition, they will be more successful in school and also be aware of their health needs. Disease management programs, if marketed effectively would save the communities a substantial amount of money in hospital visits every year. Most importantly, the profound effect this could have on the children who live in these communities that would have better lives because of it.
A benefit concert is another form of fund raising. Local bands could play for a benefit concert. Any proceeds from the concert would go to the organization. A book signing by a famous author for donations is another great fund raising idea to help the organization. Auctions can be a good fund raiser where the public donates items for the auction.
According to Marque Stewart (personal reference) every patient diagnosed with Crohn’ disease seeks different medical attention. On his behalf, if you are not treated with the proper care or not properly taking care of yourself, things could get worse. Patients with a severe case of Crohn’s disease can leave you with a bowel bag. Depending on how bad your diagnoses was, it could get better or worsen. The most important thing is that you are watching your diet.
Fliers and newspaper ads are effective as well as word of mouth, and also contacting your local radio stations to help sponsor your business is a must. Make local churches and charities aware of your services, even if they don’t provide a medical service and send out information to food banks and utility assistance programs; anywhere low-income and uninsured people are likely to be. A great way to save money instead of costly advertising is to get some friends or relatives to volunteer by visiting different agencies to explain how opening a free clinic would benefit so many people. Although, this facility will provide quality, comprehensive medical care with the same dignity and confidentiality as a private sector does. It will serve as a non-profit organization to people who are trying to improve their lives but do not have medical insurance or the ability to pay for medical care.
Next in line are the adults in this state who are in serious need of rehabilitation and guidance on this issue. Their addiction gets in the way of their ability to parent and to financially care for their children. This burden then falls on the state and becomes everyone’s problem. “When we are in conflict, we tend to lump all the issues that upset us into a mass of indistinguishable complaints that are intertwined and difficult to understand, negotiate and fix, or resolve on their own. As strange as it may seem, simply creating distinctions or separations between the core issues in conflict can produce a significant shift in allowing us to approach them constructively” (Cloke, 2011).
Week 5 part Public relations Starbucks takes great value in its customers and their opinions and concerns; part of this is to team with groups and charities that are close to their customers. By routinely choosing charities that are aligned with their customers and societies’ current trends Starbucks helps to relate to their market (Gibb, 2013). For the launch campaign of the Frappuskini, Starbucks will also introduce a public relations campaign on the benefits of healthy living. Part of this campaign will be the choosing of a charity that is closely aligned to the product but also very current and important to people. For this campaign Start buck will donate a portion of proceeds to local food banks to ensure that others can eat.
A numerous amount of injustices have resulted from racial discrimination, specifically in the medical field and with African-American patients. In many cases, racial inequality has played a role in the way African-American patients have been treated by doctors. Thus, I believe that a person’s racial background does indeed affect the way they are medically treated because people in the medical field are still accustomed to accepting certain ideals about race which may even result in illegal experimentation and unfair treatment of people.
Even some disabled people feel very strongly on this issue, and even go to the extreme. In an paper written by Robert L. Burgdorf(1999), titled “Assisted Suicide: A Disability Perspective”, writes, “The pressures upon people with disabilities to choose to end their lives, and the insidious appropriation by others of the right to make that choice for them are already prevalent and will continue to increase as managed health care and limitations upon health care resources
Sickle Cell Anemia Sickle cell anemia affects many people in the United States, but African Americans are more likely to be affected by the chronic disease than any other ethnicity. In this analysis of sickle cell anemia, the following will be discussed to help in educating the public about the chronic disease: background, population affected, psychosocial challenges, research projects, community based programs, and interventions. Background People who have sickle cell anemia have abnormal blood cells and sickle shaped which makes it unable to carry sufficient oxygen (Hamann, 2007). The only way an individual can get sickle anemia is through inheriting it from both parents with sickle cell trait (National Heart, Lung, & Blood Institute (NHLBI), n.d.). In addition, sickle cell anemia causes severe pain and damages many organs (Creary, Kulkarni, & Williamson, 2007).
Type 2 diabetes however is caused and made worse by poor dietary choices, lack of exercise and obesity. The control of these things, lie with each individual, however education as to the effects of the poor life choices by health services and educators can help people to make healthier choices. In South Africa a large portion of the population is forced, due to finances, to make maize meal their staple diet. The high GI value of maize meal contributes significantly to Type 2 diabetes in this population group, especially when eaten hot. With a bit of knowledge, even the poorer can be informed that if they can’t afford low GI starches, eating maize meal cold significantly lowers the GI.
