Problem Statement Individuals at risk of poor health and healthcare disparities are normally regarded as being vulnerable. For homeless persons and other socially marginalized populations, an effective healthcare system is always not within their reach. Moreover, other social determinants of health, such as income, housing, and social support are often not present. No clear approach to healthcare delivery for homeless persons and other vulnerable people has been defined. Vulnerability, which is likelihood to harm, emanates from an interaction among various factors, including an individual, society, and prevailing life challenges encountered. Notably, vulnerable people experience extremely high rates of acute and chronic behavioral health disorders and physical conditions and injuries than the general population. Usually, these conditions remain unmet medical needs. Further, competing interests, such as housing and food, implies that vulnerable people may not always prioritize health needs. Most of them are uninsured and often seek care in emergency departments (EDs) when unmanaged symptoms lead to hospitalization. Project Description and Overall Goal(s) The practicum, “Improving the Overall Health of Hope House Residents in Middletown, Ohio”, seeks to improve health of homeless individuals. The program will target 40 homeless residents aged between 18 and 75. The overall objective of the project will be to ensure that those who reside in the shelter are encouraged to take care of their own health through access to the necessary knowledge. This project will be implemented in Hope House Mission, a faith-based shelter for the homeless. Its mission is to provide a wide of range of programs and services designed to achieve long-term, sustainable life transformation for homeless children, men, and women. Homeless persons usually have perceived unmet health needs, and they use high-levels of healthcare, usually in costly emergency departments or acute care settings (O’Toole, Johnson, Aiello, Kane, & Pape, 2016). Thus, the practicum, which is a holistic in approach to public health, will ensure that Hope House Mission and homeless persons have enhanced capacity to address healthcare needs they experience. Rationale The practicum is expected to run for about 24 weeks (six months), and will be performed via PowerPoint presentation and following with discussion. Since the facility lacks the equipment to accommodate for the laptops or projectors, I plan on giving each individual a print out of the desired topic being addressed. Having identified the health needs that continue to affect the residents of Hope House, the project leader developed several topics that will be used to improve the overall health of people at the facility. These topics will aim not only to empower the residents with the knowledge on how to deal with common health issues, but also to underscore the importance of self-worth and self-esteem in managing challenging conditions. Some of the topics that will be addressed in this project are medication management, diabetes and hepatitis C management, self-neglect, oral health management, and vision management. Classes and group discussions will be held
