Unit 3 Discussion (Information attached), you will contact either a local healthcare agency (i.e., County

healthcare issues affecting the local community. In a memorandum to your local health department,

present a healthcare advocacy plan that addresses your researched findings. Explain the issues facing

your community, possible methods to alleviate the concern, and how you would ethically advocate for

the respective population. You must include five reasons. You are required to research the specific

Institute of Health, Census Bureau, etc.). In a 3-page paper, provide a summary of your findings,

including at least 3 credible references to support your memorandum.
