Trust for Americas Health
Part 1
Trust for America's Health was formed by Benjamin Spencer in 2001 to attend to serious health problems of national concern brought about by chronic diseases that contribute more than fifty percent of the total deaths annually in the United States. The target population is usually the old with 65 years and above being on priority. The most common diseases addressed by Trust for America's Health include diabetes, asthma, cancer, and Parkinson's, that cost Americans huge sums totaling around $1 trillion every year. Therefore, the trust for American health advocates for effective response and prevention to chronic diseases through public health systems improvement. Trust for Americas Health promotes the formation of the health tracking systems throughout the United States through the engagement with the federal public health, state, and local agencies to track the various trends of the chronic diseases and respective environmental factors through the country. Such data enables the health agencies to detect the at-risk populations, alert communities about the health crises, identify the disease clusters and associated parameters, and develop prevention mechanisms (Levi et al. 2015).
In addition, Trust for Americas Health also engages in other programs like public health leadership, which aims to strengthen public health response to Bioterrorism and equip the General surgeon's office to assist the communities in preparing relevant health infrastructure to counter biological and chemical attacks. Recently, Trust for Americas Health published a report indicating that the United States government does not have any national approach to control and counter the animal borne-disease like Mad cow, Lyme disease, and West Nile Virus even though such diseases had become life-threatening. The report called for the changes in policy to the nation's preparedness and a comprehensive tracking network that enables health officials to detect the origin of a particular disease and facilitate its diagnosis and treatment to contain the spread. Also, according to the Trust for Americas Health report, titled "promoting health and cost control in states," policies that should be enacted to promote good health and reduce the cost of healthcare are addressed (Levi et al. 2015).
Moreover, there are socio-cultural factors that influence health status for the aging populations, particularly with chronic diseases like cancer and diabetes, amongst others. For instance, an individual's participation in various social and physical activities seemed to improve health status amongst the old; therefore, personal behaviors still contribute to individual health. In addition, for successful aging with minimal diseases and limited predisposing factors, the aging populations should keep a well-balanced diet and regularly engage in whole-body exercise to improve immunity and physique. Such initiatives will help them fight some of these chronic diseases effectively. On the other hand, the essential requirement to successful aging includes lack of disability and diseases and the absence of predisposing factors. Also, is the Continued engagement in the productive interests and social activities together with the maintenance of cognitive and physical function. Such criteria are predictive and interdependent of the other. In consideration of relationships among the physical health in older people, positive health conducts, and social participation, time spent outdoor significantly contributes to improved health. As a result, the aging population is encouraged to spend time out in clubs and other leisure areas to improve their health status (Trust for America's Health, 2009).
Trust for Americas Health has also continued to advance optimal health for all communities and individuals in the United States to prevent injury and diseases a priority. Trust for Americas Health also envisions a country that respects the well-being and health of all citizens, particularly the elderly, a country where health...
…and all of them continue to share vital connections and provide counsel to scale the Florida pilot (De Biasi et al. 2020).Action Network and Public Health Learning in Florida (Age-Friendly)
Public health learning and action network that is age-friendly was established to support the public health official teams from Florida, representing two-thirds of Florida's population. The health officials were from 37 of Floridas 67 counties, hence reflective of Floridas demographics and geography. Also, Trust for Americas Health facilitated both virtual and in-person meetings for the AFPH Network teams. Also, it availed technical assistance and tools to adopt and explore new age-friendly duties for public health, together with collecting and analyzing data to detect and prioritize elderly health requirements and create partnerships with aging stakeholders. Various teams of AFPH Network explored how public health could contribute to the efforts of local age-friendly communities and set priorities for change. The Department of Elder Affairs in Florida administers and oversees all the programs within the older American act jurisdiction, including evidence-based interventions, rea agencies on aging, and Florida's Dementia Care has been a critical partner in the AFPH Project (De Biasi et al. 2020).
Activities to Advance Public Health that is age-friendly.
Trust for America's Health has participated in several national seminars to disseminate information on this initiative. Some of the conferences where Trust for Americas Health participated in include the Alzheimers Association, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 2018 Healthy Aging Workshop, and the National Association of city and County Health Officials. Subsequently, to scale the lessons learned at the workshops, Trust for Americas Health organized a webinar that availed an opportunity to expound on vital roles of public health in aging, thus, enhancing data collection and analysis around the elderly health and creating a condition that enhances healthy aging (De Biasi et al.…

America's Medical System is Broken: Can it Be Saved and at What Cost? It is not an undisclosed reality that the health care system of the United States of America is the most expensive in the world. The American government spends almost two times as much per individual as compared to other advanced nation-states for achieving better health outcomes. However, they are neither better nor satisfactory and are much poorer in
America's Cuban Conundrum Issue that prompted the EU to take the Helm-Burton dispute to the WTO The stances of the U.S. government in the suctions issued upon Cuba were heavy and non-beneficial to many countries and subsidiary organizations. The benefits of the sanctions were felt with no role in bringing consistency of access to the exciting opportunities for business activities in Cuba. Many organizations, countries, and independent business people were willing to
This essentially meant that America declared its sphere of influence extended into Central America. Shifting from its isolationist past, America became increasingly embroiled in international affairs as a result of this doctrine. In 1898, whipped into a frenzy by William Randolph Heart's yellow journalism and specious allegations that an about the Spanish violations of human rights, Americans railed in support of the Spanish-American War. The idea that the supposedly
America's Rise To Power It is not a new notion that America rose to world domination on the backs of the less fortunate, such as Native Americans and slaves. Before the Civil War, legislation like the Dred Scott case and the Kansas-Nebraska Act mandated white's control over slaves and slavery, allowing the Southern states to continue a policy that had been banned in the North. The South grew wealthy by exporting
The United States Army, however, eventually introduces its recruits to a real battlefield, whereas the America's Army video game does not. Participants in the "SeeMePlayMe" multiplayer online tournament of America's Army do not use real machine guns when they shoot at enemy troops and do not lose any limbs when they are shot in turn. When people play America's Army, the shoot and kill enemy troops in a virtual world.
America's Cuban Conundrum The Helms-Burton Act and the Cuban-American Trade Relations The United States and Cuba have had increased amounts of hostility toward each other present in their relations ever since the Cuban revolution. Not only did Cuba nationalize property held by U.S. interests during the revolution, but also Cuba became an ally to Russia during the Cold War; which was critical to the Soviet strategy since Cuba is in close proximity
