Question: Type an two-page essay following the questions below, include two outside articles or sources and do not forget to include quotes directly from the articles to solidify your point.

Identify the elderly population as a vulnerable population you wish to assess and briefly discuss why they fall under the umbrella "vulnerable."
Identify and describe a prevailing health concern for this population? What makes this population more affected than others?
In approaching this prompt, consider unique challenges this population faces that affect their health. Examples, access issues for rural residents or the disabled, delaying care fearing that immigration will be called, fall risks for elderly without support services, poor communities, or communities of color living in environmentally toxic areas, etc. Be sure to use examples.
Identify and describe two services that help this population address these concerns. This may be formal health systems of care, community organizations, charities, or other unofficial systems. Once you have identified these services, include how they are paid for in your write up
Think about all of the course material for ideas of services both within health care and beyond. Doctor hotspot may give you some ideas, the Ted Talk about the health system keeping us healthy, FQHCs serving specific populations, social service supports, etc. These are just a few ideas.
