You will now focus on a planning model that aligns to the health need you have identified $($unemplyment healthcare in Minnestoa ad nationwide$)$ and wish to address. A planning model is a comprehensive framework for creating a health initiative $($also called a health program$)$ and, in particular, guides the goals, specific objectives, and theoretical considerations of the initiative.

Many different planning models are applied in healthcare. Most address common elements such as engagement of the community, prioritization of health issues, and development of a goal or vision. When selecting a planning model for a health initiative it is important to select one that best provides a strong correlation between the model and identified health needs. Refer to the Jellybean Diagram included with this Assessment as an example of a model in population health that demonstrates the relationships between community partners, and all who could be involved in health program planning.

In a $3-$ to $4-$page narrative, describe the planning model of your initiative as follows:

List the goal $($at least one$)$ and objectives $(23)$ of your initiative based on the identified health need of your priority population.
