West Coast University Vulnerable Populations Letter
You are the director of a community clinic.
You have noticed an increase in the number of people who come to the clinic from the country you identified in weeks 2 and 3. You will write a letter to your staff educating them about this country and their vulnerable populations to better serve these people.
Address the following in your letter:
- Who are the vulnerable populations in this country?
- Discuss why they are considered a vulnerable population.
- Assess if culture play a role for these vulnerable populations in terms of health behavior, and how those behaviors impact their overall health.
- Determine the challenges that impede the improvement of health for these populations.
- Do the main causes of death for the vulnerable populations connect to these challenges and behaviors? Why or why not?
- How does this impact the clinic and staff when working with these populations?
- What does the staff need to be aware of when working with these populations?
