Grant Proposal for Theoretical Health Term Paper

Programs

The community CCHED resides in is one that includes many farmers, agriculturists, sustainable living enthusiasts and many, many people of low socio-economic status. The creation and expansion of CCHED will allow these people an opportunity to not only acquire the health and nutritional advice and information they need, it will also provide them with supplies and information that will help them learn how to bolster the agricultural potential of the area so they become self-sufficient.

There are two food centers in town the CCHED will work directly with that provide meals and educational information to people that sign up for their program. These facilities also work with the CCHED to support and sound economic and agricultural investment that will allow the community to live healthy and high quality lives.

The CCHED also partners with JKD Memorial Health Center, and will work with registered nurses and Certified Nursing Assistants to develop a program that will teach minors in school how to improve their health through nutrition, and how to invest in sustainable living causes including sustainable agriculture. The idea is that the CCHED will provide community members with the resources they need to regulate farming, restore sustainable agricultural farms so that people have enough food, and to provide those in need with proper nutrition and health education.

The regional nurses working with the CCHED will also provide free health checks that will include blood pressure testing, flu vaccines and cholesterol testing to local residents. Screens for women will also be offered at a reduced fee to protect women's health, whether they require OB assistance or Mammography assistance. Free PAPs will be offered to local women requiring this health assistance. The CCHED will also work with regional agriculturalists and educators to provide them with information they can include in science and health education classes that will improve the quality of life in the area.

Profile

During the next five years, CCHEC will rely on USDA funding to provide health and nutritional information and support to low-income urban and rural residents including children and the elderly. The goal will include building and creating a more educated community that is capable of creating sustainable food sources through changes in agriculture and education.
