    The first step is mobilize which correlates questions to ask and answer and include the mission and vision as well as potential partners and understanding the reason behind the question being asked (Healthy People 2020, 2017). This health assessment leads to pertinent questions regarding the use of screening tools and populations that need more focus. What is the colorectal and cervical cancer rates and what ethnic age groups do they most affect? Another pertinent question pertains to the amount of people that are screened for colorectal and cervical cancer and how this directly affects overall cancer rates. Initially, the provider should start with “mobilizing key individuals and organizations into a coalition” that can contribute to the overall goal (Healthy People 2020, 2017, para. 2). The overall goal of this health assessment is to assess key preventative screening methods in order to minimize the risk for colorectal and cervical cancers.

    I spent my morning with Kathy Sullivan in the Primary Care Mental Health department at the VA hospital. Kathy’s job is to screen Veterans who are referred for a mental health assessment by their primary care providers. A Veteran’s physician will meet with them for annual visits and/or any other medical care that the Veteran requires. During their visit, if the physician at any time feels the Veteran is in need of a mental health assessment, they will send the patient over to Kathy’s office or have Kathy come over and meet with the patient to ensure that a visit is scheduled before the Veteran leaves the building. This ensures that Veterans are receiving help physically and mentally as well.…

    Although I have had many injuries growing up, there is one that particularly changed my life for the better. The injury occurred when I was playing eighth grade football. It was August and we were scrimmaging Westfield; a very good team that had a lot of big players. The coach called me onto the field to play fullback, which means that I was probably going to carry the football. As I was running onto the field my heart started to beat a little faster. I had a bad feeling about getting the ball. I thought that I was going to get hurt because on the play prior the fullback ahead of me injured his knee on a run. Everything went well for the first few plays, but on the fifth play the coach called a fullback run. My heart was racing, at the snap of the ball I ran ahead for about an eight yard gain, but on the way down I felt a horrible pain in my right foot. I ended up going to the hospital a half an hour later, the doctor said that I had multiple fractures (6 to be exact), possibly some torn ligaments, and a dislocation of a few bones. I really did a number on myself. The doctor claimed to me that I would be out for at least 6 weeks, which is over halfway through the regular season. The doctor also highly recommended that I go see a sports injury specialist, or a foot specialist.…

    Our facility is going to be changing a lot in the weeks and months to come. As the administration of the nursing home, I am going to make sure that this transition happens as smoothly as possible. The patients that have decided to stay must try their hardest to adhere to the new policies that have been set. The patients that have decided to go somewhere else will very greatly missed. The patients who cannot communicate their decision for one reason or another will be placed where the staff and I see fit, whether it be in our facility or somewhere else. This facility wants to ensure all patients and residents that we want to make these changes as painless as possible. Thank all of you for the time you have given the staff and me these last ten years, and for the time you will give in the future.…

    My sophomore year while playing in a football game, I tackled a player from the other team right before half-time. While I was making the tackle, I felt a pop in my knee. It wasn’t very painful because of the adrenaline in my system at the time but the next day the pain came. It felt like there was a rubber band getting caught on my knee and coming off almost every step I took. I just put this pain aside through part of basketball season until the pain was too much and I went to get a check up, then a MRI, then before i knew it I had to get surgery for a torn meniscus. This ended my basketball season. After surgery I went to my rehab physical therapist Dr. Marty in Centralia. He got my knee back in good working order after…
