There is an increasing need to bridge the gap of health care inequity all over America, and Hardin County Iowa is no different. There are a large number of people in this community who are unemployed, living in poverty, and/or lacking insurance or the funding for health care. Many small businesses owners are not able to afford to pay for health insurance for their workers; others are not able to afford to buy insurance for their own families. A needs assessment was performed to determine if the development of a free/low-cost medical clinic is something that would be of value to this community. The plan surrounding the implementation of this needs assessment is discussed in detail within the context of this clinical inquiry proposal. 000000985 540__ $$fCC BY 000000985 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000985 650__ $$aNeeds Assessment$$032368 000000985 650__ $$aPoverty$$024482 000000985 650__ $$aInsurance, Health$$020890 000000985 650__ $$aSmall Business$$039068 000000985 651__ $$aIowa$$041000 000000985 6531_ $$amedical care 000000985 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000000985 7001_ $$aGahring, Jennifer$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000985 8564_ $$94308d5eb-0c0a-4a01-b3d0-7ef5b26d53c5$$s603781$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/985/files/988_etd.pdf 000000985 905__ $$a/rest/prod/6q/18/2k/16/6q182k16m 000000985 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:985$$pstudent-work 000000985 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
