The document argues that the federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP) provides critical funding to state Medicaid programs, allowing millions of low-income Americans to receive needed healthcare. During economic downturns when state budgets are tight, cuts to Medicaid funding most directly impact patients. A group of healthcare organizations are urging Congress to extend the FMAP through June 30, 2011 to protect access to quality care.

Public Health in Metro Atlanta
Here we examine public health in Metro Atlanta, including issues of food security, access to healthy foods, life expectancies, obesity, and smoking. Public health issues are often associated with income level, and we find that counties with higher median household incomes tend to have higher life expectancies. Obesity is also associated with income at the county level, as counties with higher median household incomes tend to have higher percentages of obese adults.

The document calls on Congress to extend the federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP) for state Medicaid programs through June 30, 2011 in order to continue providing quality healthcare to millions of low-income Americans. It notes that during tough economic times, state Medicaid programs are underfunded and patients feel the impact of funding cuts, so the FMAP is needed to support these programs. The request is endorsed by numerous healthcare organizations.

How to Fix the Economy and One Final Vote on Healthcare
The document summarizes the results of an American Pulse survey conducted in January 2011 with 5,206 respondents. It finds that Americans' confidence in government policies to fix the economy is declining. When asked what people can do to help, responses varied by gender - men said to spend more while women said to cut back. On healthcare reform, both men and women wanted to see it repealed, though more women had not made up their minds. Over half of those aged 55 and over hoped for a repeal of healthcare reform.

Medicare and End-of-Life Care in California - Slideshow
Four out of five Californians who died in 2014 were covered by Medicare. Medicare spending was significantly higher for those who died ($42,048 per person) compared to other Medicare beneficiaries in California ($9,466 per person). While the share of total Medicare spending on those at end of life has decreased slightly in recent years, hospice use and spending has increased substantially in California from 2000 to 2014. Most physicians in California report not having received training on how to discuss end-of-life care with patients.
The Ins & Outs of a Hospital Stay
The document discusses the costs associated with hospital stays and visits to the emergency room in the United States. It provides statistics on the average number of hospital stays and ER visits annually, average costs per day in the hospital, and common reasons for hospitalization among children and emergency room visits among all ages. The summary explains that while primary medical insurance may cover most of a hospital stay, patients are often still responsible for out-of-pocket costs, and that purchasing additional insurance like Aflac's hospital plan can help cover expenses from a hospitalization not covered by major medical insurance.

This document summarizes health and health care issues for American Indians and Alaska Natives (AIANs) in the United States. It finds that while AIANs make up only 2% of the US population, they disproportionately experience poorer health outcomes and lower socioeconomic status compared to whites. The Indian Health Service provides some health services to AIANs but remains historically underfunded. The document also finds that Medicaid, CHIP, and private coverage play an important role in expanding access to care for AIANs, and that AIANs gained health insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act, especially in states that expanded Medicaid.

This document discusses Georgia's coverage gap under the Affordable Care Act and the opportunity to close it. Georgia currently has over 300,000 residents who fall into the coverage gap because they earn too much to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to qualify for subsidies on the exchange. Closing the gap would provide affordable health care access for these residents. It would also benefit the economy, health care industry, and workforce by creating jobs and new economic activity. Studies of other states that have expanded Medicaid found budget savings, reduced uncompensated care costs, and improved health outcomes.

The Affordable Care Act has significantly reduced the number of uninsured individuals in Oregon, decreasing charity care costs for hospitals like PeaceHealth. With fewer uninsured patients, PeaceHealth can now spend more on preventative community programs to improve population health. While the ACA rollout brought challenges, over 240,000 Oregonians have gained coverage through Cover Oregon or Medicaid. PeaceHealth remains committed to providing financial assistance to patients who need it and transitioning to a system focused on prevention and wellness rather than just acute care.

Check. Change. Control. MVC’s New Blood Pressure Program
The document discusses the Check. Change. Control. program, a 4-month program run by the American Heart Association to help control hypertension. The program uses an online health tracking tool and offline education sessions to help participants manage their blood pressure, weight, physical activity and other health metrics. It aims to move 11-17 million more Americans to control their high blood pressure by 2020 in order to reduce deaths from cardiovascular disease and stroke by 20%. Initial rollout plans include a text campaign to promote simple lifestyle changes and encourage broad enrollment in the program.

Four out of five people who died in the United States in 2014 were covered by Medicare. Medicare spending was significantly higher for beneficiaries who died ($34,529 per person) compared to others on Medicare ($9,121 per person). While the share of total Medicare spending on end-of-life care has decreased slightly over time, Medicare hospice use and spending has increased dramatically since 2000. However, many elderly Americans have not discussed end-of-life care wishes with their doctor and most physicians report not having training to discuss end-of-life care with patients.

The document discusses how politics influences American food choices and diet-related health outcomes. It notes that while government agencies regulate food safety, the food industry heavily markets unhealthy but profitable foods. Americans face an overwhelming number of choices in the grocery store and are exposed to ads promoting all foods in moderation. However, certain heavily consumed foods are unhealthy when eaten regularly. The food industry lobbies the government to avoid recommending Americans "eat less" of certain foods for economic reasons. This system makes it challenging for Americans to align their diets with public health guidelines and reduce rates of obesity and diet-related diseases.

Before you design any nutrition education intervention, whether it is a few sessions or a larger program with several components, it is important to determine your intervention focus and identify your intended primary audience. When those have been determined, you will need detailed information on the behaviors and practices that contribute to the issue or problem you have selected as your intervention focus. Step 1 worksheets will help you conduct assessments to obtain the information you will need.
Think of yourself as a detective as you work through these worksheets. You are trying to find out as much as you can to determine which core behaviors or behavioral goals will be the targets for your educational sessions.
The information you collect may be quite extensive, depending on the scope and duration of your intervention, and will vary by category. Cite information sources (e.g., journal article, government report, observation, interview) used in the worksheet in a bibliography at the end of this step.
At the end of the Step 1 worksheets, you should have products for Steps 1A, 1B, and 1C as follows:
Step 1A: Health issues or needs (one or two) and primary intended audience for the nutrition education intervention. Examples are “overweight in teenagers” or “low rates of breastfeeding in a low-income audience.”
Step 1B: High-priority behaviors contributing to the selected issues. A set of one to a few nutrition-related behaviors or community practices that contribute to the health issue(s) that you identified.
Step 1C: Statement of the program’s behavioral or action goals. The behavioral or action goals describe the purpose or behavioral outcomes for the program in terms of behaviors or community practices.
Use these worksheets as guides to help you identify program behavioral goals. Cite information sources in the text and add references to the bibliography at the end of the step. Electronic versions of these worksheets are available
at http://nutrition.jbpub.com/education/2e. If you are unable to access the worksheets electronically, you can write onto this blank worksheet or create a text document that uses the same flow of information.

Advocacy Paper
This document advocates for implementing a diabetes prevention program for seniors similar to one offered by the YMCA in Ohio. It summarizes that type 2 diabetes is prevalent among seniors and costs a significant amount to treat. The YMCA program helps pre-diabetic participants make lifestyle changes to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes through diet and exercise. The author argues such a program should be made available to all seniors through insurance coverage to help reduce diabetes rates and costs.

The Let's Move initiative was established in 2010 by First Lady Michelle Obama to address the growing issue of childhood obesity. The program has five pillars focused on nutrition, physical activity, and empowering families and communities. Data is collected from various government surveys to monitor the program's effects on decreasing obesity rates and improving health. While still early, some positive changes have been seen like more schools offering healthier meals and private companies changing policies. Ongoing evaluation is needed to assess the long-term sustainability and full impacts of the comprehensive Let's Move program.

statistics, diabetes pervasiveness has increased promptly among people of low and middle
incomes. Accordingly, people living in countries such as India and China have the highest
prevalence of diabetes. Globally, approximately 5.0 million deaths resulted from diabetes and
diabetes-related disorders. Again, the countries spend billions of dollars on health expenditures for
diabetic patients and other approaches to minimize its prevalence through education and other
evidence-based practices. Besides, more than 400 million people globally are likely to develop
type 2 diabetes mellitus. The executive summary will describe some of the challenges facing
healthcare, such as type 2 diabetes, and ideal strategies and measures to mitigate such health issues.
Executive Summary
Proposed Change
Globally, type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic health issue affecting numerous people.
From statistics, persons diagnosed with the disease have increased significantly in the past few
decades. The Center for Disease Control has pointed out a high incidence of type 2 diabetes
mellitus among children, the elderly, and teenagers (Mayer-Davis et al., 2017). Some of the risk
factors aligned with diabetes mellitus encompass behavioral practices, lifestyle, and genetics. A
proposed change to lessen the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus entails implementing
programs including the Lifestyle Change Program and Diabetes Management Education and
Support (DMES). Such a proposed change will play a central role in raising awareness and giving
people critical information regarding type 2 diabetes, its prevention, and management (Munshi et
al., 2016). From contemporary clinical studies, recognizing diabetes risk factors early is crucial in

preventing and managing chronic disorders (American Diabetes Association, 2016). Efficient
therapy might prevent or precisely delay diabetic complications. Thus, the DMES program
educates people regarding diabetes, preventive, and management strategies to improve their
lifestyle and behavioral practices.
Desired Outcomes
There is a need to boost awareness of various risk factors aligned with type 2 diabetes
mellitus. Many people will understand the risk factors contributing to the clinical disorder and
various measures or strategies to reduce its prevalence through the proposed programs ...

Detroit Michigan Population:688,701
Percent of White American: 10.6%
Percent of Black American: 82.7%
Percentage of Women: 52.7%
Pregnancy Related Deaths 36.6 per 100,000 births.
Pregnancy Associates Deaths 75 pre 100,000 births.
Pregnancy Related deaths - 50.8 per 100,000 births in African Americans.
-3rd highest in nation
As of 2010, Detroit Michigan has a total population of 688,701 people. Of the 688,701 people, 10.6 % are White American and 82.7% are Black American. The community of Detroit is dealing with a rising concern with maternal health and pregnancy related mortality rates. Of the total population, 52.7% (or 362,945) are women. The cause of mortality among maternal mothers is obstetric causes, medical, accidents, suicide, assaults, and other causes. Per year on average, 6 women die from pregnancy issues, this amount is three times higher than that of the national average. These high mortality rates are more common in African American women than other races. Pregnancy related deaths among African Americans is 50.8 per 100,000 live births. This makes Detroit Michigan the third highest city of pregnancy related mortality in the nation. The high mortality rates in Detroit are due to health conditions, poverty, and proper health care. These numbers show that it is dangerous for a pregnant women to live and give birth in Detroit.

Thesis Statement
Thesis
The health disparities among women and children in Detroit are some of the worst in the nation. “The maternal mortality rate for black mothers in 2002 was almost 25 deaths per 100,000 live births, compared to nearly 6 deaths per 100,000 live births among white mothers and more than 7 deaths…among Hispanic mothers” (National Institute of Health, 2006, p.x). That is nearly four times the national average. More focus needs to be placed on maternal and child health in low socio-economic areas of Detroit.
Factors & Causes
Over 40% of population is living in poverty
Chronic Diseases
Limited access/ quality of health care
Obstetric, Medical, Accidents leading cause
While normally a major health concern in less developed countries, maternal and child health in the United States has become a major concern. “Child mortality is highly preventable and can be reduced greatly through improvement of environmental conditions and hygiene levels, as well as increased parental compliance with immunizations for vaccine preventable diseases…Many of these deaths were caused by preventable or easily treatable condition or by malnutrition (WHO, 2012c; WHO, 2012a)” (Friis, Bell, & Philibert, 2013). Poverty is a detrimental impact on the maternal health of women in Detroit. With the me ...

nutraMetrix - Private Practice's Next Stage in Healthcare
This document discusses the growth of the wellness industry and opportunities for healthcare professionals within it. It notes that the wellness industry is projected to exceed $1 trillion annually by 2010 due to trends like an aging population and greater focus on self-care. Nutraceuticals, integrative medicine, health foods, and wellness programs are poised for explosive growth. The document proposes that healthcare professionals can benefit financially from this growth compared to facing challenges within the traditional healthcare system like declining reimbursements, rising costs, and increasing malpractice premiums. It estimates the average annual earnings potential for healthcare professionals engaged with its nutraceutical program can be $327,000.
Strategies for reducing morbidity and mortality from diabetes through health
This document summarizes recommendations from the Task Force on Community Preventive Services regarding interventions to reduce morbidity and mortality from diabetes. It finds that disease and case management in healthcare systems are strongly recommended for people with diabetes. It also recommends diabetes self-management education in community settings like community centers for adults, and in the home for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. There was insufficient evidence to recommend other settings or for adults with type 2 diabetes in the home. The Task Force conducted systematic reviews of interventions focused on healthcare systems and community-based self-management education.
