Healthcare Organization and Management

Your boss, the Director of Community Relations at a large health organization, has asked you to fill in for him while he is on vacation and to host a meeting of community leaders. The goal of the meeting is to consider ways to disseminate important community health bulletins. Many cultures are represented at the meeting and there is a discussion about how to meet the language needs of more than 20 different languages spoken in your organization's service area. The meeting becomes tense when you must announce that your organization is only prepared to disseminate material in English and Spanish.

Prepare a one page memo for your boss briefly summarizing how you concluded the meeting. More importantly, recommend to your boss a course of action for your organization moving forward. Be sure to fully support your recommendations.

Cite any references used in text and on reference page. No plagiarism.

Suggested outline:

• Address your boss. Since you do not know their name you can use a fictional one or simply say "Good morning" you will then summarize the scenario provided.

• Define the goals and the problem that occurred.

• Conclude with your recommendation as to how to proceed.
