Choose one of the populations above (senior citizens, disabled, or children) and list at least two possible
health concerns for that population. Research your local newspaper or other source to give information on community health interventions or public policy that exist with the population you chose.
Access the link http://christianhospital.privatehealthnews.com/phn_new/client/bvha/html/view.asp#1 to take a health risk assessment.
