Identify 2 Healthy People 2030 objectives related to your findings. Describe your general recommendations for policy, program, and/or provider strategies toward achieving the selected HP2030 objectives. This is the heart of your memo. In this assignment, your unit of analysis and your “patient” is the county. You will present your findings in the below form. This assignment has several interconnected pieces, you need to use PRIMARY SOURCES and to cite sources for all statistics. Assignment details- Use the form 1. Executive summary: (key findings and recommendations) 2. County overview: Identify the county, with a brief description and introduction. Describe the county in general terms (urban, rural, affluent, low-income, mixed) 3. Data table: in the right column put in a link to the data source. This is not APA format but is OK for this assignment so you can focus on the data findings, interpretation of the data, and recommendations rather than the appropriate data citation.

Think broadly, beyond health care providers. Who is affected by health outcomes directly and indirectly, to whom does it matter how healthy people in the area may be? o Identify two people or organizations that are influencers and decision makers in the community. Describe how they affect health factors in your county and briefly describe their role in promoting/protecting population health (again, think broadly). Describe how they influence health. o Additionally, talk to two people from the county, asking what they think are the key issues and what would help to make the county healthier.
