The story of health care in 阿拉斯加 told through the tales of 5 residents
2024年6月7日
尽管阿拉斯加的生活充满了挑战, 特别是那些与医疗保健有关的, 对大多数居民来说,积极的一面使它非常值得.
小城镇的医疗保健问题很大. 但他们也有解决问题的韧性. People in rural communities live almost three years fewer than urban dwellers, and they’re more likely to die early from heart disease or a stroke.
原因是多种多样的,并不总是被理解.
更高的烟草使用率, 缺乏身体活动, 肥胖, diabetes and high blood pressure increase the risk for serious diseases. Rural communities face severe shortages of health care professionals. 人们可能住在离医院或诊所很远的地方. Or they may reside in “food deserts,” remote from reliable access to healthy food.
即便如此, 农村生活的优点, 包括强烈的联系感, 邻居互相帮助, provide a sturdy foundation for overcoming these health disparities.
美国心脏协会发布了一份总统咨询报告 农村卫生挑战 as one of three main barriers to health equity and is making a wide-ranging effort to address it in close cooperation with communities that are affected.
《沙巴足球体育平台》强调了这些迫切需要:
Improving care at hospitals and clinics with no-cost access to Get With the Guidelines® programs for coronary artery disease, 心力衰竭和中风.
Enlisting service-minded people to work in rural communities to improve heart health.
HeartCorps is a service opportunity for those interested in driving health equity in rural America with the AHA.
