Community Project

This assignment asks you to research community health programs that will help communities move toward the goals identified in the Healthy People 2030 campaign. Your essay will discuss what local or national community health project coincides with the Healthy People campaign initiatives. The Healthy People campaign is more than just getting people to be more physically active. This federally funded researched health campaign is updated every 10 years and it specifically identifies and measures certain goals that are aimed to address specific public health issues. This ongoing research enables health care professionals to know if we are meeting these goals or not as an overall public health initiative. For example, childhood obesity – have we successfully eliminated this public health issue according to the campaign research or are there still areas where we are lacking? This is just one example, Healthy People 2030 outlines and measures numerous public health goals that you may find interesting. For this assignment, you will research and choose one public health initiative outlined on the Healthy People 2030 website and write about one community project (local or national) that will help residents move toward the goal you have chosen to discuss.
