Propose your choice of hospital and rational. Do not use 1st person. Describe in detail the hospitals mission. What is the industry or purpose?

  You will take the information you gathered from Milestone 1 and use it for the top part of Milestone 3 and add in more information for each section. Please note that for the Legislation part- each section builds off of the previous section. 
Organizational Impact 
Organization Impact
 Propose your choice of hospital and rational. Do not use 1st person. Describe in detail the hospitals mission. What is the industry or purpose? For example, St. Jude’s is a non-profit hospital whose mission is to provide care to pediatrics with specific cancers at no further cost to the parents (St. Jude’s, 2021). No direct quotes but summarize and cite the information using the hospitals website.
What are the sub-industries? For example, St. Jude’s also has a huge research center linked to their mission of curing cancer in pediatric patients (St. Jude’s, 2021).  
What is the hospital’s financial background? Find 1-2 specific examples of the yearly income and expenses. Is the facility solvent? What do the numbers mean?
Nonprofit or For Profit
Is the organization you selected a nonprofit or a for-profit? What differences will this make in terms of economic policy impact? What is your organization’s tax status? How is your healthcare facility affected by economic legislation based on their tax status?
Demand Theory
 Accurately describe how the demand theory is reflected in the hospital’s financial statements. Answer the question: How do you know your facility is in demand? This may take a little bit of reasonable deduction when reviewing the yearly financials of the hospital. For demand, you can look for new services being provided or a new building going up to better serve the community? Has there been an increase in patient services in a particular area? Etc.
          You can find this information sometimes in the communication to the community, press releases and Google. For example, “Google Johns Hopkins Bulletins” and many sites show up including the library at JH where all the bulletins are stored. You can search that JH data base.
Market Behavior Impact
          Explain how the market behavior of the healthcare industry impacts the financial statements of the organization at various times throughout the year and the rationale for these yearly fluctuations. One area to look at is fundraising and any published pro-bono work. Fundraisers bring money in [income]; whereas, pro-bono cases cause spending of money [expenses]. You can also look at the publications for the community. Again, you can Google your facility and “yearly changes” and see what pops up!
Economic Legislative Changes
Legislative Changes
Considering the economic and legislative changes you researched, what changes are most likely to impact your organization, and why? Utilizing your SWOT legislation explain how that policy has affected your facility. Provide a good example. You cannot use our healthcare system, the ACA/Obama care. The legislation must be economic policy that affects healthcare.
Policy Changes and Impact
Then using the economic policy/legislation above, what was an internal policy that needed to change to be compliant with that law?
Statement Impact
Continuing with the same economic policy, how does the policy affect the financial statements of your organization? Add in an example or two from your organization for your example.
Potential Disparities
Continuing with the same economic policy, what is a specific healthcare disparity that was created? Provide a well-developed recommendation to fix the healthcare disparity using evidence-based research.

I think the competencies that best relate to the Grand Canyon University mission is the christian worldview and global awareness, perspectives, and ethics. The reason why I picked christian worldview is because Grand Canyon University curriculum is derived from a faith based, biblical values. Students at Grand Canyon University learn from a different perspective rather than being at a traditional public university.  I also picked global awareness, perspectives, and ethics because based on the teachings taught at Grand Canyon University helps you have a better understanding of the world around us. We should always be putting others first before our needs. We need to be more like examples for others. I think these competencies will lead to my success as a student because these values will resonate. These are not just values you forget overtime. I will take these values and principles wherever I go; whether it is in a work setting or in a school setting. I want to set the examples for others.

The competencies that will lead to my success as a student and Beyond are effective communication, Global awareness, perspectives, and ethics. Also critical thinking and Christian worldview. I chose effective communication because I believe that communication is key both a learning environment as well as in a career. Effective communication means a lot of things to me. The most important in my opinion is listening. Not only is it necessary to be able to express ideas clearly in a verbal sense, it is also necessary to be a good listener. I chose Global awareness, perspectives, and ethics because to me this describes acceptance, open-mindedness, and understanding. All of these things are very important in My Chosen career as a counselor. Diversity and empathy are two things that I will be using daily. I chose critical thinking because I feel that as I move forward with my education critical thinking will play a huge role in my success.

I believe that all the competencies elate to the GCU mission. But the two I think are best fr academic success are critical thinking, and effective communication.   Communication, and critical thinking are both important because they will allow for a better understanding of every ones point of view and reasoning for their conclusions. and not try and push my conclusion as the right one. But tell the reasons I came to my conclusion and listen to and understand why and how they came to theirs. And both will aid me in success beyond because they are both essential in everyday life as well as careers. 

Discuss how the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) can be seen or viewed as a crisis in society today.

Combine chapters 5 and 6 into your discussion. Discuss how the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) can be seen or viewed as a crisis in society today. nitial needs at lease 2 paragraphs, 2 professional citing in your discussion post and 1 when you reply to someone.LatoryaFear of Missing Out (FOMO) refers to the feeling or perception that others are having more fun, better opportunities, more experiences, or simply living better lives. According to the text, this is not something new, but it has increased over time with the aid of social media and reality television. It is no secret that the younger generations spend a lot of time on the internet basically in other people’s business. Most of the time when people post on social media they are posting the highlights of their life. We don’t know what they had to do or the path they had to take to get there and we also don’t know what they are truly going through.However, it is hard for others to realize that it is just a highlight, and that is when comparison kicks in and those feelings begin to internalize. Comparing your life with other people’s lives on the internet can cause a great deal of loneliness, anxiety, depression, envy, and low self-esteem. All of which can be detrimental to your mental health. When those feelings arise it can cause some serious damage. It can even cause suicidal ideations, attempts, and even death by suicide. FOMO is definitely a crisis in our society today.MorganThe Fear of Missing Out can be seen as a crisis in the world today because of the need to be seen, included, and in the know. According to Kanel (2019), “FOMO is a feeling of anxiety that an exciting or interesting event may currently be happening elsewhere” (p.94). Technology has given people instant gratification and has created a society where people need to know what is going on. In addition, people need to be seen and felt like they are important based off of the number of likes and comments they get from their posts. According to Zhang and Mao (2023), “the phenomenon of fear of missing out (FOMO) has received increasing scientific attention because of the strong motivation to know the movements of others and frequent checking of mobile phones”. This level of instant gratification causes panic in people who may not have received an invitation to a event or got the praise they thought they deserved. The level of anxiety this causes can be alarming to someone who may been in a crisis state or have the tendency to have anxious thoughts. In addition to anxiety, FOMO can lead to depression, decreased subjective well-being, and harmful social comparisons (Zhang & Mao, 2023).One way to combat the fear of missing out would be to introduce coping skills. The person in the crisis will need to first calm down and breathe. Second, the person would need to reflect on their behavior and their goals. One example that comes to mind is students who get in trouble for using their phones in class. At my school, students have to put their phones in a container when they enter the classroom to eliminate distractions. Many students have trouble with this and it is a fighting battle to get them to complete this task daily. The students who struggle with this task are constantly in a state of crisis. In the past, students have brought “burner phones” to put in the container so they can keep theirs without anyone knowing. This is problematic because students should be able to attend class without checking social media.

Think about this scenario: Mr. Migel and Mrs. Colon are kindergarten teachers in the same inner-city school district. The children in their classrooms are mostly African American and Latino.  Both teachers are very dedicated to their profession. They have created classroom settings that demonstrate their philosophy and theory about what they believe early childhood education should be. Mr. Migel has designed his room with content area centers, such as science, social studies, art, dramatic play, block play, and music. Each center reflects a theme the children are studying. For example, the children are studying spring, and there are plants in the science corner; recordings about spring in the music center; and books about plants, bugs, and new baby animals in the library corner. A zoo has been designed in the block center where baby gerbils have just been born, and a live hen is sitting on her eggs.  There is a place for children to buy tickets to the zoo, there are signs on the real and play animal cages, and children receive play receipts for money spent. In the morning when they arrive at school, the children and Mr. Migel sing songs about spring, talk about spring, and discuss what they are going to do in school. The children spend a good portion of the day working with one another and with manipulative materials. Often there is a lot of noise, and sometimes children are not productively engaged. Mr. Migel has no formal lessons for reading and writing. When children want to look at books, they can. If the children decide to write a story, there are materials for them to use, and Mr. Migel is kind, supportive, warm, and caring. He believes that building a positive attitude about school and themselves is the most important part of the children’s kindergarten experience. He emphasizes social, emotional, and physical development. He also believes that the children will learn reading and writing as a result of their exposure to books and print in a spontaneous way, and that formal lessons in this area are inappropriate and unnecessary. Mrs. Colon’s classroom is different from Mr. Migel’s. She, too, cares a great deal about the children. She is warm, kind, and supportive. She has organized the tables so that there is a definitive front of the room for her to carry out lessons. She feels that the children need to learn school behavior and be ready for first grade. According to Mrs. Colon, many of these children know almost nothing about reading and writing because their parents rarely work with them. She believes that they need to know the alphabet and need to be able to match sounds to their correct symbols as an aid to early literacy. She teaches a letter of the alphabet a week, and children use worksheets to reinforce what they have learned. The writing that takes place is mostly for the development of fine motor control to help the children learn to formulate letters, which they practice.  Mrs. Colon’s classroom is orderly, quiet, and organized, with specific objectives to be accomplished. Children do have the opportunity to play in her room, but she views this not as a time to learn, but as a time to relax after they have done their work. The reading specialist in the district is worried about both Mr. Migel and Mrs. Colon. She likes some of the things that both of them do but feels that each is lacking some important classroom strategies. 1.What theorists do Mr. Migel and Mrs. Colon embrace, based on the descriptions of their classrooms? 2.If you feel strongly that one teacher provides kindergarten instruction as it should be, support your premise with the appropriate theory.

Take a position on Mission Statements:Select a mission statement of your choice. Discuss whether it meets the criteria of effective mission statements as discussed in Chapter two. Discuss if the mission statement is effective. Discuss how you might change it if it is not. Mission Statements are critical to a successful marketing organization versus Mission Statements rarely provide useful marketing value. Support your arguments. Provide examples. CHAPTER SUMMARY & STUDY GUIDE1. The value delivery process includes choosing (or identifying), providing (or delivering), and communicating superior value. The value chain is a tool for identifying key activities that create value and costs in a specific business.2. Strong companies develop superior capabilities in managing core business processes such as new-product realization, inventory management, and customer acquisition and retention. In today’s marketing environment, managing these core processes effectively means creating a marketing network in which the company works closely with all parties in the production and distribution chain, from suppliers of raw materials to retail distributors. Companies no longer compete—marketing networks do.4. The corporate strategy establishes the framework within which the divisions and business units prepare their strategic plans. Setting a corporate strategy means defining the corporate mission, establishing strategic business units (SBUs), assigning resources to each, and assessing growth opportunities.5. Marketers should define a business or business unit as a customer-satisfying process. Taking this view can reveal additional growth opportunities.6. Strategic planning for individual businesses includes defining the business mission, analyzing external opportunities and threats, analyzing internal strengths and weaknesses, formulating goals, formulating strategy, formulating supporting programs, implementing the programs, and gathering feedback and exercising control.7.Each product level within a business unit must develop a marketing plan for achieving its goals. The marketing plan is one of the most important outputs of the marketing process.

Explain the importance, value, and benefits of cross-curricular planning and the use of literature to support the learning outcomes being taught in other content areas in each grade range (K-3 and 4-8).

 
Reading and writing skills are essential in all content areas. Whether students are interacting with expository texts or texts from various literary genres, they need to be able to view text critically and gain meaning from it.  Using cross-curriculum planning, you can select books and readings that support what is being taught in other content areas while still reinforcing essential reading and writing skills.
Imagine your principal has asked you to create a short professional development session that can be shared with other teachers in your building. The goal of the session is to provide a high-level overview of the benefits of cross-content curriculum planning and using literature to support key concepts and ideas being taught in other subject areas.
Using the topic Resources and your own research, create an 8-10 slide PowerPoint presentation for a professional development session designed for K-12 teachers. 
 The presentation should:

Explain the importance, value, and benefits of cross-curricular planning and the use of literature to support the learning outcomes being taught in other content areas in each grade range (K-3 and 4-8).
Summarize how to best utilize cross-curricular planning in each grade range (K-3 and 4-8), including discussion of the unique processes that can be used in planning and the challenges one might face when planning for each grade range.
Explain how using literature to make cross-curricular content connections aligns to the reading content area standards.
Describe how using literature to make cross-curricular content connections can support differentiated instruction and help to meet the needs of diverse students. Provide specific examples to illustrate your ideas.
Provide an example of a cross-curricular lesson or activity for each grade range (K-3 and 4-8) so teachers understand how connections can be made between concepts and skills. Include discussion of both literature and expository text selections.
Include a title slide, reference slide, and speaker notes. There are no notes required for the title and reference slides, and these two slides are not part of the total presentation slide count.
