Community Assessment

Using the community site selected in the Topic 1 assignment, perform an assessment of the community (town/city/county) using the “Explore Health Rankings” and “Environmental Justice Dashboard” resources from the topic Resources.

The community assessment will include secondary sources (credible websites) and a physical appraisal (i.e., windshield survey) of the community.

The Community Teaching Project has indirect care experience requirements. The “Indirect Care Experience Hours” form, found in the Topic 1 Resources, will be used to document the indirect care experience hours completed in the Community Teaching Project and presentation. As progress is made on the Community Teaching Project, update this form indicating the date(s) each section is completed. This form will be submitted in Topic 5.

For this assignment, complete the “Community Teaching Project – Part 2” template, including two citations.
