Health Promotion and Preventions in Michigan

 

 Introduction

            There had been poor heath and disparities in Michigan. This has been mostly associated with the infants and the mothers given birth. It had been rare for many children to experience their first birthday as they usually die of preventable causes. This has been readily affecting the individuals, families as well as the communities as great losses are followed by the deaths and treatment attempts. This has therefore facilitated Michigan to put initiatives to improve the state of health. Health promotion and prevention strategies can help improve the health state in Michigan.

            There had been several plans tat Michigan had set in order to improve the state o0f health. To begin with, there had been infant health and development program. This improvement plan had been focused mainly in reduction of infant death rates which had been at a high peak. It had been also an initiative of the improvement plan to ensure that the health of the mothers as well as the babies had been achieved (Young & Richardson, 2007). The plan has been able to recognize the disparities that usually facilitate to poor maternal health. It has also been in the position to bring in to sense the disparities that facilitate to poor health outcomes of the infant and enables to priorities promotion of health equity. The plan is usually active to come up with interventions and unite community as well as clinical partners to fight for lives of many beings. The vision of this plan had been focused to ensure there are no deaths among the infants as well as mothers who had delivered, mainly having been caused by preventable causes which had been a trending issue in Michigan. The other vision for the plan had been ensuring that there are no disparity issues in Michigan.

            There would be various possible impacts of the initiative. To begin with, the plan would lead to positive significant impacts on the individuals. There would be assurance of life among the women of productive age as they are the most victims of delivery (Young & Richardson, 2007). This might be facilitated by the fact that the health of the mothers as well as the infants would be good at all times. The improvement plan would play a great role in saving the resources of the family members through unifying them. There would also be health assurance among the family members hence no fears of losing their loved ones after delivery as well as the infants. The community would be unified by the plan. The unity would then enable the community to fight against the preventable causes of deaths among the infants and women during and after delivery. This means that there would be collaboration in building a better system of healthcare.

Healthy people 2020

            The mission of healthy 2020 had been including identification of research and needs of data collection, global priorities in heath improvement and providence of goals and objectives applicable at all levels. There are several goals of the same which include; achievement of equity in health and disparity elimination, achievement of good health and eradicate preventable illnesses (Institute of Medicine, 2011). There had also been a goal of promotion of good health through creation of physical and social environments.

Conclusion

            The poor health state in Michigan had been contributing towards high mortality rate among the infants and the mothers after deliveries. As research has just shown, the causes are preventable and this has been a contributing factor towards the establishment of some plans that had been focused to improve the health state. The success of the initiative would enable the individuals to live long as the mortality cause is controlled as well as reducing the losses of the family members experienced as a result of the mortality cases. The community would as well be unified by the plan thus enabling to fight the causes of the deaths. The preview of Healthy people 2020 has several goals and mission towards facilitating good health as seen in the discussion. Health promotion and prevention strategies can help to improve the health state in Michigan.
