Disparities in health are addressed by community health programs that ensure

equal access to health resources. Living in a remote rural region with few healthcare
providers or being unable to purchase health insurance are examples of such
discrepancies. In communities where socioeconomic reasons impede health equity,
community health centers frequently function as the primary care provider. The
collective well-being of community members is referred to as community health. These
communities generally share health traits, ethnicities, and socioeconomic conditions in
addition to residing in the same area or region. For example, due to a lack of nutritional
meals in local grocery stores, some low-income communities may have high obesity
rates. This places them in what is known as a "food desert." In community health, public
health specialists look at how socioeconomic factors like money, diet, crime, and
transportation affect people.
My neighborhood is tiny but well-equipped, with a public school, health clinics,
and a little basketball court, among other things... The environment is clean; we have
safe homes and neighborhoods, as well as pure water and air. Better health is
connected to being surrounded and supported by family, friends, and neighbors. We
also celebrate fiestas especially in the church and anniversary in the wards/ streets.
Sometimes there is trouble in our community but it is solved immediately with the help
of our barangay guard and captain because they maintain peace and order.
