Making it mine

Using the following guide, prepare a personal reflection paper:

    Light Bulb Moments:  Quote a sentence or sentences from the God with Us: An Introduction to the Old Testament text that impressed you this week.  Write one paragraph to explain why this caught your attention.  Then record a verse or verses from the Bible reading for this week and write one full paragraph explaining the significance of this quote to you.
    Hall of Fame:  In two full paragraphs, choose a famous Bible person you studied in this workshop.  Describe what you learned about this person that you could apply to your own life, character, or leadership.  What do you see in the person’s life that you would like to emulate?
    Talking to God:  Write a short one-paragraph prayer, in the form of a letter or perhaps a short poem, that reflects what you want to express to God this week.  You may model your prayer after one of the Psalms you read during this week.  Remember that the Psalms always praised some characteristic of God, were honest and open, and displayed creativity of expression.  Try to incorporate those three elements in your short prayer.

Free testing locations in New York, here’s the link to include https://www1.nyc.gov/site/coronavirus/get-tested/covid-19-testing.page

This is a difficult time for our families, our friends, our neighborhoods and our communities. As a City, now is the time to come together, and look out for one another. I want to explain what the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic means for you and your family, and how you help stop the spread of the virus in New York. Were urging people to exercise caution and take care of themselves. There are simple things everyone can do that will make a big difference:
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
Avoid shaking hands.
Cover your coughs and sneezes into your elbow or with a tissue.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Please remember what social distancing involves: avoid crowds of any kind, and keep a distance
of at least 6 feet from other people when youre out.

What I want people to remember is that its not just about keeping yourself healthy. By taking these precautions, youre also helping to keep our entire city healthy. And most importantly, youre helping to keep the most vulnerable people in our community safe: especially the elderly, and people with underlying medical issues.

The Health Care System of Canada.

Use a standard essay format for responses to all questions (i.e., an introduction, middle
paragraphs and conclusion).

Canada
The Canadian system for health care delivery can be described as a mixed system because it is possible to have completely private health care with the patient paying the provider. However, most Canadian health care is provided through the single-payer model. Each province in Canada has the constitutional option to opt out of this system, although none have to date. All physician, hospital, pharmaceutical, and clinic fees are set and paid for by the government. A health care provider cannot charge more than the government fee, even if the patient is not covered by the public system or is from another country, unless the provider opts out of the system altogether. Other health care expenses such as dentistry and optometry are wholly private-sector operations. Each person who enrolls in the program is given a health care card, much like the Medicare card in the United States. All people have the same plan (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca).

In recent years, American citizens have increasingly gone to Canada to purchase prescription drugs and be treated for certain illnesses. U.S. citizens take advantage of the high quality and lower cost of Canadian health care. Canadians also come to the United States for elective surgeries such as hip and heart. Canadians travel to the United States for health care for specialized procedures not available in Canada and in some cases to avoid long waiting times.

History
The early French settlers founded Catholic hospitals in the 1800s. Health care in Canada was private until 1946. At that time, the province of Saskatchewan introduced universal health care coverage. Over the next 10 years, the remaining nine provinces introduced similar coverage. In 1957, the Hospital and Diagnostic Services Act was passed through which the federal government paid 50 percent of costs of the health care programs in all 10 provinces. In 1966, the Medical Care Act was passed that instituted the universal coverage countrywide. The Canada Health Act was passed in 1984 that prohibited extra user fees and extra physician billing fees. The Canadian system, which blends universal health coverage with private-sector fee-for-service, is often seen as a model for U.S. health care reform in current and future discussions.

Delivery
The majority of health care in Canada (75%) is funded publicly and delivered privately. The private-sector spending is about 30 percent of the total, primarily for services not covered by Canadian Medicare such as dentistry, optometry, some prescription drugs, cosmetic surgery, and for, in some provinces, priority access to health care services. Canadians may also purchase supplementary private health insurance for these services; about 65 percent of the population has this coverage.

The actual delivery of services is the responsibility of the provinces and territories. Although privately funded, most of the services are provided by private enterprises. Most physicians do not receive a salary, but are paid on a fee-for-service basis. They in turn pay their staff, much like private practice physicians in the United States. The role of the federal government is to:

Provide the funds to deliver the services to the provinces

Set and administer the principles of the national health care system

Deliver services to specific special groupsveterans, First Nation Peoples, and the Inuit people

Provide public health, health protection programs, and health care research

Both Canadian citizens and health care providers report high approval ratings for this system (Health Canada http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca).

Statistics
In 2012, Canada spent 9.8 percent of GDP on health care, or U.S. $4,045 per capita. Of that, approximately 70 percent was government expenditure, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) (Canada http://www.who.int/countries/can).

ContraCOVID Communication Strategy

ContraCOVID is an international graduate health student run organization that aims at helping Latinx and Immigrant populations in regards to COVID-19. Contra COVID was started by 5 Harvard medical students and has grown to encompass multiple cities across the US by mobilizing medical students and future health workers in various schools.

Please ensure that these projects directly relate to the committees and work to increase their access to our target population.  Write a summary of exactly how you plan to support the committees you met through these communication strategies. This document can serve as a list of goals/ competencies for your strategy. Please refer to the committee goals listed below to create a communication strategy summary.

Committees

Resource Usage Committee – This committee is dedicated to creating creative ways to measure the impact of our outreach work. This committee collects demographic information from the participants reached through the Referral, Workshop and Focus Group committees to ensure that, as a team, we are reaching our target population. The committee creates data summary reports and releases those reports to the other ContraCOVID NYC committees. The committee is also responsible for analysing the impact that COVID-19 has had on the incarcerated and formerly incarcerated population in NYC and developing an infographic campaign to help this population.

Referral Committee- The referral committee generates creative ways to reach out to the target population ( through NYC organizations, grassroots campaigns, ect) and provide the link to relevant resources identified by Contra COVID. Contra COVID has a resource qualtrics tool that keeps track of resources identified in NYC. This committee locates groups of our target population to provide resource referrals to using the resources identified by our team. The aim of this committee is to link our target population to resources existing in NYC and to promote horizontal communications between organizations which serve our demographic in NYC. This committee will be developing a mock healthcare system by mapping out the services provided by existing NGOs and CBOs in NYC as they relate to the services provided by the H+H system of care. They will then work to distribute the map and refer the target population to this mock system.

Focus Group Committee- This committee develops surveys to understand the needs of our target population and locates cohorts of our population to distribute the surveys to. The committee then develops summaries of their findings and makes recommendations based on the findings. The Focus Group committee will be conducting an outreach assessment to analyse the most effective ways to reach and help Latinx and Immigrant populations.

Social Service Navigator Program- The SSNP gives 1:1 guidance and translation of online web pages to participants over the phone. Contra COVID members across the country sign up to schedule phone calls with non-english speakers that need help navigating english only sites.
