Marginalized populations
Respond to the following:
Marginalized populations, including those living near or below the poverty level, ethnic minorities, and other underrepresented identities and groups, are always at the greatest risk of suffering from debilitating or life-changing health problems due to lack of resources and power to influence their circumstances. As an administrator in health care, this reality is one that you will intersect with often in your work.
How will your service address a health care need for a marginalized population, and how will they have access to this service?
Sample Solution
As an administrator in health care, I am committed to addressing the health care needs of marginalized populations. I believe that everyone deserves access to quality, affordable health care, regardless of their income, race, ethnicity, or other social factors.
One way that I will address the health care needs of marginalized populations is by providing free or low-cost health care services. I will do this by partnering with community organizations and non-profit groups that serve these populations. I will also work to secure funding from government and philanthropic sources.
