I think it would be better to focus intensely on the most impactable or most needy community with enough resources to make a large impact on fewer lives,than spread it thin and he lp a bad system limp along. I also think it's vital to make patients and the target audience politcally aware of the ties between their rights as citizens, their medical treatment and needs and voting.
I wish we had a clinic here
I wish we had a facility with exercise equipment (similar to what they have at Helen Mills Center) and an indoor lap pool (not a Y - too expensive)
I worry about a city such a drastic and increasingly widening income intergrity
I would like o see a community health ceneter to some low ses community; worried anout affordability
I'm 83 and I find the area pretty well served medically and Grady is nearby.
In terms of healthcare - I would like to see an urgent care center in this part of town. I also think we need more health services in all of our schools including things like asthma management and mental health counseling/training. School based health assessments could help us figure out why more than 10% of elementary students miss over three weeks of school each year in our area. In terms of community - I would like to see Morehouse and the AUC much more active neighbors. The campus should be welcoming and provide a community destination for sports or contemplation, students and staff should be encouraged to live in the community, and all students in local schools should all be familiar with your programs and faculty. The campus should also work to reduce its negative footprint on the community - the car traffic is an injury and air quality hazard and it is so close to the transit station. Students and staff could support local business but they stay on campus and then leave at the end of the day. How can you be a better neighbor?
Overall I think the community should know about the health problems that effect them.
Our country and state need to think of good individual health as an essential part of good public health.
