Area
Oakland, California

This article offers history, demographics, and even a section on health care for the specific area where my P.E. will take place. It provides some good starting information but I think the "Educational attainment and income" section could benefit from some edits.

Poverty in the United States

Speaking of the broader country instead of the immediate local area, this article focuses strictly on poverty. While providing some great data, I was surprised to see this article had a section based on poverty's impact on access to education but not health or healthcare, which is arguably more essential.

Sector
Medi-Cal

As the primary health-care option for low-income individuals, Medi-Cal is something I should know inside and out before working in a local health clinic. I'm not sure how this article could be improved, but I do know that many of the patients I will be interacting with will either be on Medi-Cal or looking to enroll in it.

Social determinants of health in poverty

This article provides information on the link between poverty and poor health, something central to my practice experience. It provides great descriptions on many factors that influence poverty and health such as age, gender, ethnicity, and location. No section is lacking important facts but I think the section on Education could be expanded further and edited.
