This section will outline the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The focus will be examining the goals, target population, who was responsible for its implementation, services offered, as well as how it is financed. It is also important to discuss how this policy reflects the values of America’s dominant culture, as it may potentially impact non-dominant culture significantly. Overview of the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) was signed into law on August 5, 1993.

She had suffered for years with unexplained chronic pain and depression due to the pain. After reading about the effects that fibromyalgia has on a person’s body, mind and daily life, I can understand now why she was always so miserable. I just hope that the research and studies continue to improve diagnosis and treatment for this terrible debilitating chronic

The state of Texas has an external review process which meets federal guidelines. In fact, many years ago, Texas mandated that all health plans accepting patients in the state must agree to let those people appeal to a certified independent review organization, when the insurance company is refusing to pay for a healthcare service. The results have been startling. One study found that 55 percent of Texas patients who filed an IRO appeal received additional treatment. That means the insurance company 's denials were either partially or completely overturned.

Approximately 100,000 children die of cancer before the age of 15 in the world every day. According to the Journal of American Medical Association, roughly 80% of children with cancer in high-income countries, such as the United States, survive. With that in mind, we must be thankful for the facilities we have close to home, such as Children’s Mercy Hospital. My mother has worked for Children’s Mercy for nine years, and it has been a huge blessing to hear about all of the wonderful things that Children’s Mercy does for our community. As a result of Children’s Mercy being a not for profit hospital, their funding must come from sources outside of their patients.

I volunteered at Lenoir Memorial Hospital the Summer of 2015. I received about 58 hours of community service. Ms. Ann Durusky is the Director of Volunteer Services at the hospital. Volunteering at the hospital entails admitting and discharging patients from their rooms, escorting patients or guests to where they need to be, delivering emails, flowers, and gift baskets. At first, I was sent with the lead volunteer of our group and a partner, until I was able to remember what procedures to take in different situations.
