Yellow Jacket Hope Center for Teens

4. Our Community Proposal
Greenville is a small community located in mid-central Michigan. According to an article in the local newspaper, there are about one hundred homeless students that the public school advocates for (Ameling, 2011). There is a need in the community for free health care for these students.
At the present time the public school funds medical needs for these students through the use of McKinney-Vento federal funds, local community donations, and a grant from the Greenville Area Community Foundation (Jeltsema, 2011).
Our group proposal is to provide free health care to homeless students via a teen center.
The McKinney-Vento funds can then be used for additional needs of the homeless students, like housing and perhaps repairing or preventing the reasons these students are homeless. .

5. Mission Statement The Yellow Jacket Hope Center for
Teens is Dedicated to improving the
health and well being of homeless
and low income teens in the Greenville area.
Our mission focuses on prevention,
early treatment and health maintenance
through the combination of physicians, nurses,
dietitians, social workers and counselors.

6. Philosophy ( Watson’s theory and the four major concepts, para. 1)
(Watson, 2012, The Seven Assumptions, para. 3).

7. Philosophy Continued
Our commitment is to provide quality care in a safe environment with the following focus:
Patients • We believe that everyone deserves to have access to high quality basic medical care regardless of ability pay. • We believe that everyone deserves to have health education opportunities regardless of ability to pay.
Nursing • We believe nurses are an integral part in helping this population obtain health care services needed without fear of inability to pay. • We believe nurses can play an integral part in health education for this vulnerable population.
