One of the biggest health issues that we face in Clayton County is that people do not understand the health care system. In Clayton County, there are almost 40,000 people of foreign descent. This means that we have a wide variety of cultures and languages represented in our community. This is what makes our community so strong, but it is also what creates a problem for people to understand the health care system. In my life, I have seen this in a variety of ways. For instance, many of my aunts and uncles, as well as my parents, do not go to a yearly visit with a doctor. This is not because they do not care about their health and well-being. It is because they do not understand the health care system and are uncomfortable with it. In fact, many times, my parents do not even know what the doctor is telling them when they go to their office. Despite the fact that the person was born in the United States of America and understands the language, which is English, it is difficult to understand the terminologies the doctors use to explain their condition. The doctors usually use terminologies to explain the patients’ condition. When the patients do not understand what the doctors are saying, they tend to avoid going back to the hospital. This may lead to health complications, which would have been avoided if the patients went back to the hospital. In Riverdale and College Park, patients tend to go to the hospital only when they are seriously ill. Diseases such as high blood pressure and heart problems may not be diagnosed since patients are not visiting the hospital regularly. In order to combat this, I would develop a HealthBridge Community Initiative that would aim to ensure that individuals are able to be more informed about their health and the health system. This would be done by training student volunteers to conduct basic health education workshops within schools and other centers across the community. The aim of the workshops is to ensure that individuals and families are able to be educated about basic health concepts that would enable them to be able to read their prescriptions, understand the importance of yearly visits to the health system, and be able to prepare for a visit to the health system in order to be comfortable with the system. It would also have a part that is mobile and would provide the family with information regarding common health issues in simple language, inform them of their scheduled appointments, and other such information. It would also have information in other languages that can help the family understand the situation better if they do not speak the same language. Accessing health information would make them feel more confident while talking to doctors. Improving health literacy can make a big difference in communities like ours.This means that if a person is health literate, that person knows his or her health and can avoid serious health issues while having a healthy life. I want to create a solution as a public health practitioner to help create solutions that make healthcare easier to understand and accessible for everyone in my community.
