Ageing of the general population including a greater proportion of the labor force is a global phenomenon (Kulik et al. 930).

“Poor single mother on welfare tell me how you did it?” rings the famous lyric of the late Rapper-Activist Tupac Amaru Shakur. The son of a former Black Panther, this ode to his mother provides a glimpse into the conundrum of surviving in the wake of being poor and black on public assistance. What Shakur unknowingly reveals is the image of welfare in a more empathetic and realistic way that illuminates instead of ignoring the lived realities of its recipients. While Shakur’s lyric is compassionate in it’s depiction, conservative lawmakers are less considerate in their elucidation of ...

Increasing Access and Use of Local Certified Farmers’ Markets:

Abstract The Supplemental Nutrition Program Women, Infants, and Children provides healthy foods, nutritional education and certain referral services to low-income pregnant and post-partum women, infants, and children up to age five.

Why it important for nurses to understand health care financing

The current healthcare setting is characterized by insistence on monitoring and evaluation of patient outcomes. These patient outcomes have expanded and the focus on costs of care as direct indicators of patient outcomes all but reflects how the role of the nurse may have equally expanded. Nurses have long been regarded as patient advocates and they still remain so even in the current context even with more roles to play in this advocacy aspect (Sherman & Mary Bishop, 2012). The patient-centric care approaches place their emphasis on the patient as the center of attention and the primary element of care. ...
