This assessment focuses on the health challenges that the community of Jordan has been facing for a long time. In our previous assessment, we scrutinized Jordan’s community health. Jordan is a small town located in Minnesota. Through an intricate health analysis, several health challenges were observed, such as mental health problems leading to suicide among adolescents, worsening health insurance situation, and ill management of chronic diseases due to financial constraints. Therefore, this draft of the change proposal provides several strategies and measures to address these health challenges that the community of Jordan has to endure consistently.
Benefits and Implications
To tackle the health challenges of the Jordan community, the proposed healthcare system changes can include the following strategies:
Interaction-Based Mental Health Programs in Schools:
Establishing mental health programs within schools where counselors, psychologists, and social workers provide mental health support for students in collaboration with school authorities. In interaction-based interventions in mental health programs, adolescents and children can share their concerns, and mental health professionals can guide them to promote their emotional well-being. This change strategy aims to build resilience, coping skills, stress management, and emotional intelligence in young minds. This strategy will directly safeguard young students in school from suicidal thoughts, reducing suicide attempts (García-Carrión et al., 2019). Thus, overall health improvements will be evident as the young population of the community will have healthy minds and reduce parental stress due to these behaviors.
Health Insurance Improvement Plan:
Health insurance can be improved in the community of Jordan by collaborating with policymakers and advocacy teams to support policy changes in providing affordable health insurance to low-income populations. Moreover, advocating for Medicare and Medicaid expanded access in community individuals where health insurance is adequately granted to resource-deprived individuals. By expanding access to Medicaid and Medicare services in providing health insurance to deserving populations, the direct benefits will be on the population’s health as their health needs will be satisfied and fulfilled. Moreover, this will lead to a sustained healthy community where equitable care treatment is provided to low-income individuals (Martin et al., 2021).
