• ​Community Wellness Governance​

  • Community Wellness Governance Councils (CWGCs) at the city, county, regional, and state levels.

  • National Community Wellness Council to coordinate community wellness initiatives nationally.

• Community Annual Risk Assessment & Analysis Program

  • Map companies and facilities with potential environmental or public-health risks by State, County, and City with color-coded community risk-rating system.

• Firearm Buy Back Program Through Community Events

  • Key Solutions to Prevent Violence

    • To reduce community gun violence offer gun owners the following incentives:

    • Combination of cash and incentives, such as grocery gift cards or sports event tickets, to encourage participation and promote healthy living. This initiative could be supported through partnerships with organizations​.

    • Campaign Concept: "Voices for Peace: Ending Gun Violence in Our Communities"
      Launch a nationwide campaign featuring athletes, singers, actors, and actresses to amplify the message of ending gun violence. Through social media, movie streaming platforms, phones, TV ads, and posters for schools, healthcare facilities, sports facilities, community centers, stores, and billboards, we’ll reach diverse audiences and inspire action from all corners of society. The voices of celebrities can ignite conversations, encourage community unity, and drive real change.

• Nursing Shortage - How It Affect Communities​​

  • Lower Quality of Care - When There Aren’t Enough Nurses:

    • Patient safety declines. Staffing shortages are linked to increased risk of medical errors, adverse events, and mortality. One study reported that each additional patient per nurse increases mortality risk and lowers safety. AACN

    • Healthcare‑associated complications become more common, including infections and delayed interventions because nurses have less time per patient. Nursing CE Centra

• Longer Wait Times and Delays

  • Shortages force providers to stretch limited staff across more patients, leading to longer emergency department waits, delayed treatments, and postponed discharges. Stevenson University

  • Nursing shortages are not abstract — they translate into measurable declines in health outcomes at the population level.​​

• Key Solutions To Retain and Attract Nurses

  • ​Patient Ratios

  • Competitive Compensation

  • Professional Development

  • Organizational Culture

  • Leadership Support (Director Of Nursing, Nurse Manager)

  • Work Life and Work-Life Balance

  • ​Resident doctor rotations as part of their residency programs to build collaboration between future physicians and nurses.

  • Develop a structured role task allocation models that allow qualified interns, residents, CNAs, technicians, and other support personnel to perform appropriate tasks within their training and legal scope.

  • Partnerships with Nursing Colleges, Direct Campaigns, and Hiring Referral and Hiring Streamlined Programs.​

• Disparities Among Black and Minorities' Veterans to reduced implicit bias in decision-making

  • Studies in other fields (like hiring or grant review) show that “blinding” decision-makers to race, gender, or geography can reduce biased judgments. 

  • Data is split into two files:

    • File A (Adjudicator view): Medical history, service records, supporting evidence.

    • File B (Restricted): Race, ethnicity, home address, demographics.

  • Third-Party 

    • Independent adjudicator review program and initiate independent equity oversight​ reports

• Prevent Veteran Limited Access To Newer Medications & Treatments

  • VA formulary restrictions

    • The VA has a limited list of approved drugs, often lagging behind private insurers
      in adding new treatments

  • ​​Slow Approval for Experimental Therapies

    • ​Veterans with conditions like cancer, PTSD, or chronic pain wait months or years for access to new, potentially life saving therapies.

  • ​Geographic disparity

    • Veterans in rural areas often can’t access specialists with advanced treatment options.

  • Racial disparities

    • Black and Brown veterans are disproportionately affected because they are overrepresented in areas with under-resourced VA facilities. Example: A veteran with advanced cancer might only have access to standard chemotherapy at a VA hospital, while a private cancer center 15 miles away offers cutting-edge immunotherapy that isn’t covered by VA yet.

• Key Solutions For Expanding Care Outside VA (For ALL Veterans)

  • ​By allowing veterans to seek care at private-sector hospitals and specialty centers, several problems could be solved:​

    • Immediate access to newer medications - Outside providers can prescribe treatments not yet approved in VA formulary.​

    • Broader clinical trial access - Veterans can participate in advanced research at university hospitals and
      private clinics.

    • Specialist availability - Veterans with complex conditions can see top specialists without being
      limited to VA staff availability.

    • Reduced racial and regional disparities - Veterans in underserved communities gain access to high-quality care.

    • ​Faster updates to treatment protocols - Data from external providers can help VA update its own standards more quickly.​

  • Allow Black women veterans — or any woman facing reproducive health risks — to choose out-of-network    obstetricians when:

    • The VA network cannot provide timely appointments.

    • Specialized care (maternal-fetal medicine, high-risk pregnancy) is needed.

    • Cultural competency or trust concerns jusify an alternative provider.

• Disproportionate Homelessness Among Veterans

  • Lower housing approval rates ​= less income = inability to afford rent or qualify for housing programs.

  • Systemic bottlenecks create homelessness ​​

• Key Solutions To Prevent Veteran Homelessness

  • Create concepts and programs: Standardized Veteran First System and HUD Veteran Program for Immediate Placement
  • Universal exit plan for every service member including job placement + housing plan.​
  • Blind adjudication + automated evidence checks to reduce bias and delays.
  • Expand HUD-VASH funding + enforce anti-discriminaon laws for landlords.
  • Culturally competent care + outreach to underserved communities.
  • Unified database between VA, HUD, and local nonprofits.

• Promoting Awareness of Community Stress​

• The Welfare of Our Elderly Population in the United States

  • ​Family and Children Services creating a process to verify a senior resident's Social Security Administration (SSA) benefits payment date (mm/dd/year) by accessing the Social Security Administration system. The systems should interface to ensure senior benefits can be correctly calculated. With understanding the difference between the SSA benefits eligible date vs. the payment date = SNAP benefits reduction month.

  • Senior residents who do not qualify for full SNAP benefits, implement a Senior & Aging Food Referral Program that includes transition of a senior to food assistance programs.

• Supporting Black College Students Through Holistic Online Platforms and Community Engagement as our students navigate the removals and changes that directly affect college programs. That ultimately affect our students (future leaders).

  • ​Platforms that offer access to daily bible devotions (living water), health and dietary guidance, mental health resources, virtual peer support groups, and Black history articles. Students will be able to register by uploading a copy of their student ID, ensuring the space remains secure and tailored to the needs of enrolled college students. 

  • Establish sponsor and community partnerships by hosting events to fund resources that help senior students successfully graduate.

• National Nonviolence Governance System

  • ​Created “The Principles of Nonviolence” Series for Social Media Platforms

  • Education System Integration

    • 6–8: Conflict management, accountability.

    • 9–12: Civic leadership, crisis ethics.

    • University: Nonviolent governance in law, public administration, business.

    • Outputs: Leadership pipeline, civic culture reinforcement.

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Wandering and Elopement

  • ​We want to ensure physicians and healthcare organizations consistently discuss and through routine referrals to assist patients and families with ASD safety measures, connect parents to organizations that provide training, and teach children, youth, and adults with ASD about home, water, and traffic safety—while also providing clear, rapid steps to take if someone goes missing, because we understand time is of the essence.
