    However, the information and personal stories that it shares have allowed me to develop a strong appreciation for their role in creating healthier communities. Although it does not seem like an especially prestigious profession, without these workers, those people who experience the greatest health disparities in terms of health literacy and access might not have the means or courage to seek the medical advice and resources that they need. Community health workers help to eliminate health disparities and help to build healthier communities from the ground…

It is geopolitical because a geographical boundary is usually what is followed when creating a political boundary. An example would be a river that separates two counties.

    The term family brings to mind a visual image of adults and children living together in a harmonious manner, although this may not be the case for all. The “typical” family, two biological parents and children, has changed over time. Families are as diverse as the individuals that compose them, and clients have deeply ingrained values about their families that deserve respect. The family is the primary social context in which health promotion and disease prevention takes place, as the family’s beliefs, values, and practices strongly influence the health behavior of its members. Using a family-focused approach is a priority when providing adequate family care and support. The purpose of this paper is to complete a family health assessment using a family focused approach by utilizing Gordon’s functional health patterns and the systems theory.…
