Community Coalition
1. Choose 5 partnerships to engage and explain why you would invite each of these people//organizations to be a part of the coalition.
The creation of community health promotion and education programs takes into consideration several agencies or parties who help in the achievement of the desired health goals. Each of the partners will address its roles using different approaches depending on their area of expertise. This is an important factor to consider as different institutions address health promotion using different approaches and perspectives. The overall outcome from the contribution of every partner should be able to restore and promote the physical, emotional, spiritual, psychological, and social wellness of the community in relation to the health issue being suffered (Minelli, & Breckon, 2009). Chronic diseases are currently the leading causes of death in the community due to their complexity and the severe effects on human health. The community health promotion and education program will be provided by the ‘Health Concerns Coalition’ which will be made up of the following partners; community religious groups, Cancer Supportive Care Foundation, an association of cancer-survivor patients, nutritional organizations, and the local authority.
1. Cancer Supportive Care Foundation – This is an important part of the coalition as it will offer technical expertise in education and diagnosis of chronic diseases. The foundation team will include medical experts who will diagnose the community members of any chronic illnesses. Examinations for diseases such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, diabetes and blood pressure will be conducted by this partner as they will provide modern machines needed for the diagnosis of chronic illnesses.

i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

FORWARD: - I am pleasedto present social/ community mobilization plan for
encouraging health seeking behaviour by communities of muzaffarpur district for
recurring outbreaks of AES. The recurring outbreaks have taken lives of so many children
and a sense of fear is prevailing in the district particularly rural areas. The SCMP plan will
be of great help in such situations added with clinical care.
The state government and other concerned authorities have made several program cycle
which are very intensive, and extremely satisfactory. I have built new thinking around
social & community mobilization plan (SCMP) to deal with the situation. This plan can be
useful for many other situations also if prosecuted in proper way. The SCMP plan
application needs integrated approach with community and different sectors involvement
to deal with the issue of AES outbreaks. It also involves community training to enhance
health seeking behaviour of communities to healthcare. This will prevent delay in reaching
at proper time, at proper place for proper care.
The spread of technologies enable us to leverage and design transmedia initiatives to
resonate key message across relevant audience. Knowledge and evidence based facts will
serve as backbone to guide through the principles of SCMP. SCMP knowledge if
disseminated in proper way to communities through seminars, media will prove a
milestone in public health strategy to deal with AES and many other diseases. The drive
and commitment of SCMP programme will definitely have a positive impact on lives and
well being of communities.
Declaration: - This paper has not been previously published and is not currently under
consideration by another journal. The world population is growing every second and it’s
quite difficult to cater the needs of healthcare on individual basis. Hence advocacy for
social and community mobilization should be considered strongly to cater the needs of
community. The whole work is solely done by author.

SYNOPSIS: - SCMP drives positive social community mobilization added with positive
behaviour and social change to community particularly parents/ guardians of children and
other family members, strengthen dialogue with influencers and stakeholders, and enhance
systemcapacity and local ownership as well as involvement of communities in programmes
to generate sustainable impacts. It partners with government, civil society organizations,
and development agencies to harness the power of communication as a tool for social
transformation to deal with distress together.
The SCMP plan work is based on four strategic pillars that promote and support
social and community mobilization to enhance health seeking behaviour in communities in
time and at proper place. System strengthening, capacity development, media based
initiative and knowledge management is the four pillars added with positive deviance.
The systemstrengthening function will bridge structural capacity
within the programme. Capacity development will advance human resource capacities on
SCMP. Knowledge management drew evidence and insights for programming and
facilitated learning exchange. Media based initiatives to resonate messages around these
learning’s for sharing together.
Programme efficiency, resource mobilization and allocation as well as strategy design will
change as per needs and requirements. The focus is on understanding social norms by
unpacking the individual and community context within which SCMP operates. Through
research and operationalization we can have in-depth knowledge of barriers and drivers of
SCMP to design programme for positive outcome. Through SCMP we will be able to save
lives on one hand at the same time imparting knowledge to communities to enable and
develop health seeking behaviour so that they are able to take proper care in proper time at
proper place.

Introduction: - There is recurring outbreaks of Acute Encephalitis Syndrome for past several
years in different parts of Bihar. The disease is particularly more rampant in muzaffarpur district
of Bihar. Despite several measures and guidelines the district is still facing the challenge to
conquer these outbreaks. Several children’s have lost lives and many families are in distress and
fear every year. The health department and Government of Bihar have faced severe irony of
public as well as media due to the prevailing situation. Clinical care added with Public health
approach for AES can be of great help in rectification of problem to a greater extent. Usually
lack of health seeking behaviour is found among most communities due to lack of knowledge
and awareness. Hence I am discussing here about health promotion and communication for
generating positive deviance among the community and people of muzaffarpur for mobilizing
them to encourage health seeking behaviour for managing recurring outbreaks of acute
encephalitis syndrome.
Definition: - In social and community mobilization for encouraging health seeking behaviour the
local community population participates to maximum extent to change the prevailing health
situation problems. The community awareness will help them to seek proper healthcare in proper
time to avoid the distress. There should be proper linkage and network with community,
important stakeholders & various organizations particularly health department for improving
status of AES & overall various different issues related to control of recurring outbreaks.
Principles of SCMP: -
a. We should promote dialogue with the community and within community about the
situation of AES & and discuss with them ways to change the situation.
b. Capacity building among community to enable health seeking behaviour.
c. Social responsibility and morals for everyone to be explained.
d. Transparency and accountability are very important for motivating community.
e. Sustainability of activities for long period for maximum impact.
f. Improve and increase community participation to ensure maximum coverage.
6. 6
Aim of Social & Community mobilization Plan: - The main aims of SCMP is to:-
1. Aware community about their own potential and resources available at home, at
community level and at different levels of healthcare for AES (What they can do? Where
& when to seek healthcare?).
2. Encouraging community to sustainably use their resources and demand services from
accredited institutions such as government hospitals at proper time to avoid delay
(Where/when to seek healthcare?).
3. Capacity building among community for strengthening problem solving ability (how to
do?).
4. Imparting knowledge about AES and common skills to community for improving self
help capacities (ability to act) and capabilities (knowledge – how to act).
5. Bridging gap between community and health service provider (mutual co-operation).
6. Making local community partner instead of only recipients (Give importance).
7. Increasing capacity and skills of service provider through training and working in real
situations (adequate qualities care to demand assurance).

Recommendations:- Implementation of community mobilization through
facilitated participatory learning’s and action cycles with community groups with
positive deviance (particularly parents/ guardians of children’s) is recommended
to improve the situation of AES, particularly in rural settings with low access to
health services.
Implementation of facilitated participatory learning and action cycles with
community group should focus on creating a space for discussion where
community people are able to identify priority problems and advocate health
seeking behaviour for local solution as well as facility based solutions for AES.
Consideration to be taken into account for implementation of SCMP
a. To have an impact the time period of SCMP intervention should be longer
(few Years-3/4)
b. There needs to be adequate coverage of intervention in terms of density of
population. The success of intervention will largely depend upon greater
participation and positive deviance. The effect may also vary by context
on prior existence, strength and cohesion of local social networks.
c. High quality facilitators are key factor in establishing and maintaining
groups and helping them to be effective; good training and support of
facilitators is therefore essential.
d. Although it will be a community intervention like any intervention at large
scale it must be properly supported by appropriate structures, systems and
processes, resources for effective results.
e. Implementation should also consider potential harm (violence, conflict
with health provider or other community members etc. Potential harms
should be monitored throughout implementation so that they can be
managed.
The political/social context
a. Political support is essential
b. The intervention must be adapted to reflect local community context,
capacities, and constraints.
c. Implementing the intervention with other community health
development plan & structure will enhance coverage and
