1. What are your role and responsibilities as a health care provider in the community?
My primary role is working as an internal medicine specialist in the medical field in Paramus,
New Jersey. I offer services ranging from diagnosing and treating minor health conditions to
major ones. As a medical physician, Applying scientific knowledge and clinical expertise is a
significant responsibility. It helps in finding accurate diagnoses that aid in proper treatment.
Medicine internalists focus on recovery from physical health. In order to focus on the specific
needs of the patient, a thorough assessment must be performed to help collect all necessary
information. Also, the appointment is another responsibility; it ensures that the patient is
followed up after treatment,

The five largest ethnic groups in the Paramus community include; whites, Asians, African
Americans, Hispanic whites and other two non-Hispanic races. The communication barrier
among these groups affects the delivery of healthcare. Moreover, race is a risk factor for
comorbidities such as diabetes and heart disease.

3. How would you define the community you serve? What about the interests, goals and
values?
Paramus is an autonomous community where people work together and support each other.
Comprehensive planning service and wealth management, finding a solution to the devastation
caused by drugs and substance abuse, especially among youths and investing in public schools
based on the tradition of excellence and innovations are the common goals and interests of this
community; they also value health care sector. Additionally, they want to maintain their nation's
independence, which is challenging because of local legislation. They also want to preserve their
culture, language, and customs while preserving their identity as a people. Keeping them
separate was challenging but necessary because their beliefs and values fluctuated from
community to community. For instance, most people see disease as a spiritual idea and God as a
healer who imparts medical expertise. The community is also religious, with Christianity
dominating. Also, there is Baptist, Episcopalian, Methodist, Lutheran and Catholic. Moreover,
the community believes in health promotion as the way to have good health and prevent illness.
4. Would you consider the community you work with a healthy community? Why or why
not?
No, the community is unhealthy. Paramus, New Jersey, has many health problems, but they can
improve them like any other community. There are quite a few barriers that the community
members face regarding healthcare. Most of the community members are faced with financial
concerns that place them at risk for more health issues. For example, some members are faced
with violence issues; they involve themselves in drugs and substance abuse which predisposes
them to anxiety and depression and other health problems.
