Topic 1: Vulnerable Populations

As you discovered in this week’s lectures and textbook readings, numerous vulnerable populations exist in the community. Identify three local organizations in your community that deliver healthcare services to vulnerable populations. Based on your research findings, answer the following:

• Which population does each organization serve?
• What services does it provide?
• Where does it get its funding (local, state, or federal sources)?
• Evaluate the relative value of each organization’s services to individuals and families in the vulnerable population it serves.
