To me a healthy community can obtain proper health care services, the opportunity to receive a good education, the opportunity to play, the opportunity to be social, the opportunity to be intellectually stimulated, the opportunity to be physically active, and the opportunity to be safe while you take advantage of all these other opportunities. And these opportunities must be for everyone. (Health.gov, 2010). A community that is continuously creating and improving those physical and social environments and expanding those community resources that enable people to mutually support each other in performing all the functions of life and in developing to their maximum potential (Health.gov, 2010)

Healthy communities work together to promote healthy living, bring great health benefits to the community, helps to reduce health gaps caused by differences in income, education, race and ethnicity, location and other factors that can affect health. Healthy communities have high vaccination rates to protect citizens from diseases and easy access to medical care and healthy food, designed for healthy living at home, work, and school; and provide good mental health resources. A healthy community also means it is safe and easy to walk, bike, and play in parks and community spaces. People can help improve the health of community by looking at the health of the family (CDC, 2015).

To provide care for a community I would educate community members on how to maintaining their health so that they can decrease the occurrence of diseases and deaths. Plan educational assemblies, hand -out fliers, conduct health screenings, dispense medications and administer immunizations. Educate residents through health expos and community classes go to patients’ homes, community centers, hospice facilities and to long-term care facilities. Providing this care would help the public improve their health and maintain healthy lifestyles. Thus prevent hospitalizations through support and education and also assist patients’ transition home from a hospital stay (Herzing, 2018).
