    Columbus County has become my home for the past three years. During my exploration of Columbus County I chose to ask Michael Brown, Mark Howard, Christina Perdue; MD, Dr. Kevin Bratton; Ph.D., and Addie Mae Haley. I thought it would be interesting to get the opinions of five people with different occupations, and experiences in life. Michael Brown is a Southeastern Community College student, his major is Education, geared towards a history profession. I received his thoughts during an interview at Southeastern on February 5th. Mark Howard is a Shift Manager at McDonalds here in Whiteville, as well as a retired Army Soldier. I was able to talk to him face to face during one of his breaks on January 29. Christina Perdue; MD, is my family’s doctor here in Whiteville at Southeast Primary Care. Dr. Perdue is always very busy so I spoke to her via telephone for her opinion on February 17th. Kevin Bratton; PhD, is one of our deans here at Southeastern Community College, and an awesome instructor. Dr. Bratton responded to my email on January 31st. And finally, the best for last, Addie Mae Haley, she worked in Blueberry and Tobacco fields when she was young, and after she was married she became a domesticated house wife. Mrs. Haley’s my oldest interviewee, at the great age of 85, and was born and raised in Columbus County. I was able to interview her face to face on January 20th. All five of these Columbus County residents gave me a great outlook on what they all though was important to…

    I made my way across the parking lot, towards the entrance to the gym. As I reached the double doors I paused, then slowly turning, I attempted to take in as much of the outside view as I could. I saw a green meadow dotted with a few thoughtfully placed picnic tables, a few baseball, and soccer fields. I also noticed that this place is home to a busy skateboard park right beside a well-kept playground. My pan of the scene had revealed to me that this place has grown into something more than what I had remembered it to be. Today this center welcomes people of all ages. In contrast, when the U.S. Air Force ran this facility it was for military personnel and their adult dependents. It was a simple gymnasium with a couple of minimally groomed baseball diamonds and multipurpose fields, lacking any beauty. Today, the sturdy old building and surrounding fields are a beautiful sight to behold, and maintained by a local community services organization. The quick survey of the sports center had reminded me that this place is still serving the community in a big way with its available venues and activities.…

    “The Meeting” The room is silent other than the steady hum of the air conditioner. Businessmen and location supervisors all sit around a large rectangular table, waiting for the man in charge. There is a projector screen at the head of the table with an opening slide displayed. It reads “Monthly Safety meeting” in plain black text on a white background. A few of the men lean back in their chairs and relax. Two start a casual conversation. Even in the silence of the room I cannot understand them because they are mumbling so quietly. It’s an early Monday morning, and everyone is still a little drowsy from the weekend.…

    The purpose of this community profile is to highlight the nurse's role and responsibilities in relation to facilitating health and wellbeing across the health, wellness, illness and age continuum and how this is achieved in a local geographically determined community (which for the purposes of this assignment, will be the town of Middlesbrough). Whitehead (1992) defined health inequalities as “differences in health that are unnecessary, avoidable, unfair and unjust.” These health inequalities are rife in Middlesbrough and, in turn have a knock on effect on the life expectancy of people living in the town which is significantly lower for both men and women than the national average (Middlesbrough Health Profile 2012, DOH). Middlesbrough is also the 8th most deprived local authority area in England according to Middlesbrough Councils Index of Multiple Deprivation…
