Public Health Policies in Action

Use the Internet to identify an organization in your local community that serves marginalized populations in a global setting. Examples of this type of organization could be the International Red Cross, non-governmental agencies (NG0s), faith groups (mission trips) etc. Describe the organization and the type of service delivered as part of your post. Who are the interested stakeholders (population groups and caregivers) connected to this organization? Describe both local and international stakeholders. What are some demographics of the primary and secondary populations served? What is the consideration for making sure services are accessible to a diverse population? What are the geographic boundaries of the population served? What are examples of the best practices of collaborative national and international efforts that have successfully lessened health disparities in a specific population. What could an individual at the local level do to help this organization maximize its service delivery capabilities to its intended population?
