Unit 2 Discussion 2

This should be 250-300 words. 

It’s easy to discuss the way things “should be” regarding access to affordable, quality healthcare. But what actions can be taken to enact actual change? For this discussion, you will assume a role of leadership, power, and influence within your community. In this role, you have the ability to propose a program or service that can improve the health of your community. Considering your role, respond to the following question:

Propose one measure that will improve the health of your community, addressing health disparities and socioeconomic factors.

• Provide a brief summary detailing the need for this measure (this may include a little background on your community/demographics).
• Briefly explain how you will enact and support the measure.
• Summarize any push-back you expect to receive (and from whom).
• Detail what is needed to approve or enact this measure (ex: city council approval, city budget approval, mayoral endorsement, state funding, grants, etc.)

Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.
