Discussion: Reducing the Risk of Obesity Students, Have you read about the study that was reported earlier this year about genetics and predisposition for childhood obesity? Vanderbilt University stated that a molecular marker in the saliva is associated with the emergence of childhood obesity in a group of preschool-aged Hispanic children. They tested children that were overweight and then followed them for years. Even with behavioral interventions, 30% of the children became obese and these were the children of women who had the particular molecular marker in their saliva. I think it is an interesting study suggesting that genetics are a significant factor in the development of childhood obesity. MacMillan, L. (2020 Mar 5). Biomarker in saliva predicts childhood obesity risk:?study. Vanderbilt Medical University Reporter. https://news.vumc.org/2020/03/05/saliva-biomarker-childhood-obesity-risk/ Assignment: What do you think about this study & those that speak to genetics in this area of health? Length: 250-275 words, APA format, use scholarly, peer-reviewed sources

Substantive response. Please further discuss. End response with a question. APA format 175 – 265 words Cite 2 references Respond to the following: Robert MacDonald 2:53 PM How groups and team impacting health care organizations is not unique to health care at all, I have worked for serval hospitals large and small throughout the United States. All hospitals to my knowledge are based on a team and group environment. For an example, I am the Chairman of my committee “The Environment of Care”. My team or group of individuals come together every month for our meetings and discuss patient safety, Safety plan, Security plan, Hazardous materials plan, Fire safety plan, Bio-med plan, and Utilities plan. Prior to our meetings our group also meets up to conduct EOC rounds of different departments every month. We are working together to find deficiencies or safety issues that could cause harm to any individual. Other examples would be our Emergency Operations Committee, where we discuss our emergency operations plan for like the pandemic that we all are facing for the last eight months. This group practices scenario’s and completes two live drills every year. In my twenty years being in the healthcare industry the experience working with teams in the workplace was first difficult at first, because certain people had their own point of view but were very naïve to disasters. The most important lesson I have learned is be open and communicate properly to everyone as if they are equal in authority.

 Shortage of health care personnel statistics Another challenge affecting health care delivery is the growing shortage of health care personnel.

Based on your research, compose a 2-page memorandum to your local/state (Texas) representative identifying your findings. In your memorandum, include the following: Detailed statistics on the shortage of health care personnel in your selected geographical area. Comparative statistics to the national shortage of health care personnel. Explain how health care personnel shortage is affecting health care delivery currently and within the next 10 years.**You may use the following source to review a sample memorandum:https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/subject_specific_writing/professional_technical_writing/memos/sample_memo.htmlSLP Assignment ExpectationsConduct additional research to gather sufficient information to justify/support your memorandum.
