HEALTHCARE ADVOCACY

   Instructions:

In this unit, you will communicate a healthcare advocacy plan. Using the information you

provided in the Unit 3 Discussion, you will contact either a local healthcare agency (i.e., County

Health Department, etc.) or healthcare facility (i.e., clinic, hospital, or nursing home) to research

2–3 healthcare issues affecting the local community. In a memorandum to your local health

department, present a healthcare advocacy plan that addresses your researched findings.

Explain the issues facing your community, possible methods to alleviate the concern, and how

you would ethically advocate for the respective population. You must include five reasons. You

are required to research the specific issues presented with credible sources (e.g., Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention, National Institute of Health, Census Bureau, etc.). In a 3-page

paper, provide a summary of your findings, including at least 3 credible references to support

your memorandum. The county is Broward county florida.
