1. The Estrangement of African-Americans from the Healthcare Community

2. Picture of my Great- Grandfather Sharecropper: grew own food, active, and healthy, rarely had to see a doctor. Socioeconomic status was such that he couldn’t afford health care for the family.

3. Picture of my Great- Grandmother The rock of the family Provided medical aid for the family Because of segregation, the healthcare was fairly nonexistent and substandard at best

4. Lack of medical insurance Low socioeconomic status No knowledge of maintaining proper health and noticing the symptoms that require care Age becomes an issue because of decreased mobility and fixed incomes Poor doctor/patient communication

5. Pictures will be included of older adults participating in a choir rehearsal at church The implications of these will be to promote more physical wellness and encouraging doctors to visit churches and possibly be assigned to churches for accessibility.

6. The photo novella will end with photos of African-American older adults dancing while commenting on the newfound relationships with healthcare providers The supplanting of the expansive gap with lower insurance premiums, reliable transportation, and cultural education of healthcare providers.
