This broad definition of community health includes the dimensions of process, status, and structure. Assessing community health requires the collection of existing data, generation of missing data, and an analysis of the resulted compilation of data. The community is the client when the nursing effort is concentrated on the joint welfare of the population instead of just on the health of a single individual. The goal of population-centered healthcare is to accomplish helpful change intended to increase the benefit of the entire community as a collective whole. My impression of my participating family’s community and environment is extremely positive.
The reason is Chris (CEO) of National Health care want to give something back to Kava because of the good things Kava has done for other countries.

* To improve quality of service by identifying lessons learned from complaints and by implementing improvements in the service using the lessons learnt. Since we opened the doors to E-Spire Healthcare in September 2013 I have been the Operations Manager, part of my job role is to ensure our Policies and Procedures reflect a safe environment for both the client and staff, to enable clients to have the person centred care that the rightly deserve and as a minimum expect, whilst ensuring that staff are given the information, training and skills, to support the client in a positive manner, and to ensure they understand the client’s needs. I designed the Service User Guide in this pack I have devised a section which includes a piece about expectations on how complaints will be dealt with. This reads as the following: Please be assured that any complaint you make will be taken seriously and handled sensitively and efficiently. An initial acknowledgement will be received within 5 working days and a full written response, following a thorough investigation, will be sent within 28 working days.
Public health encompasses protecting and improving the health of communities through coordinated efforts of governments, private and voluntary organisations and individuals. Nutritional medicine professionals contribute to public health through each of these channels. They develop policies and programs within public health nutrition, are involved in associations, as well as educate and motivate individuals in private practices. Their purpose is to improve the communities or individuals overall nutritional status. Increases in popularity of complementary therapies such as nutrition, and focuses of government policy on prevention, indicate nutritional medicine may become more relevant in public health in the future.
5. Social and economic factors which influence health The impact of social and economic factors on the health of individuals is well recognised and understood by the Health, Social Care & Well-Being Partnership, and is considered in the Needs Assessment. Most local authority services impact on health in some way and the first Health, Social Care and Well-being Strategy recognised the role of services such as social care, housing, economic development, education, and transport. But there are many others such as street cleaning, refuse disposal, building regulations which can also affect people’s health. This strategy once again prioritises a number of key influential factors which impact health in a significant way.

Three interrelated daily lifestyle behavioral principles that explain areas that needed addressing for change were identified: emotional health, safety, and disease prevention. The identified target components for a better lifestyle were used to improve the current behaviors by implementing strategies that helped me improve. Upon taking the initial lifestyle evaluation, my current lifestyle compared well with the lifestyle one recommended for wellness. My scores in nutrition, tobacco use, and alcohol and drugs between nine and ten indicated that I was aware of the importance of my health as well as using my knowledge to implement them in my current lifestyle.

The Public health system is founded on “prevention of disease and promotion of the health of a population” by means of evidence based and socially accepted methods as stated in the Community Health and Wellness edition 4. Public health care is based on principles of cultural sensitivity, accessibility, community participation and intersectional collaboration that threads in very well with practitioners of naturopathy’s manner towards health care. Naturopathy otherwise known, as complimentary medicine is a method of healing that employs various lifestyle changes to gain optimal health. A naturopath believes that “good health involves more than just a remedy”. If we want to live long, joyful, happy lives we must endeavour to re-establish the proper relationship between ourselves – The whole body and mind – and nature in order to empower an individual to reach their highest level of health (Dr H.C.A Vogel, 1990).
The health of each and every individual is very much important for the welfare of a society. Epidemiology is a kind of tools which helps to improve the health of public (Rothman, 2012). Epidemiology is defined as ‘a study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events, including disease and the application of this study to control of diseases and other health problems’ (world Health Organisation [WHO], 2012). Since last century there has been a noticeable change happened in the field of epidemiology like changes in size, scope and approach and in nowadays it is grown as a essential science which deals with community health (Aschengru & Seage, 2008). Epidemiologists use different kinds of methods and tools to study and describe health problems and events among people (Bonita, Beaglehole, Kjellstorm & WHO, 2006).
