Write a paper on providing health promotion services to rural communities, as a result, specific health disparities affect these communities. Those who live in big cities take for granted things like access to fast uninterrupted internet, this is not the case for those who live in rural areas where satellite internet is often expensive, slow and inconsistent. Consistent access to internet services has proved to be a incredible access in the era of COVID-19 but not everyone has been able to take advantage of this, farmworkers as an example (Lee et al., 2020). Rural communities also tend to be more conservative and might see certain practices as negative. According to Hess and Davis (2019) when the subject of walking as a way to lose weight was mentioned, some women felt uncomfortable walking without their husbands, as it was something it be frowned upon and nobody did it. There is also an issue with limited knowledge regarding healthy dietary practices as a result of lack of health promotion related to hard to reach rural communities (Alston & Partridge, 2020). These are some of the reasons why healthcare providers should use a patient-centered approach when providing services as each community and the individuals that make them up have specific needs and limitations. Interventions must be crafted for their specific needs. As an example, in the communities where women walking alone might be perceived negatively, it could be possible to promote the idea of women going out in a group to exercise as a way to overcome this issue. This is a more sensible approach to this issue than attempting to change the culture of said community in the hopes of changing the negative perception of women walking alone, which even if it were possible it would take an incredible effort and amount of time.

In the early 1900’s, the care coordination model was created to enhance patient outcomes within the healthcare system.
