The people and resources that provide health care to members of the community, as well as the community services that people need to meet their physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and occupational needs
The elements of community diagnosis include identifying the health needs of the population, assessing the social determinants of health, analyzing existing health data, engaging with community stakeholders, and developing plans for interventions or programs to address identified issues.

Start by identifying the problems, and then learning about them. Here's a start: In most American communities, the average age is increasing, as is lifespan. So we see an increasing geriatric population whose health needs are more intense and tons more expensive. Solve: What programs can be conceived that would deliver higher quality health care to the increased needs, elderly patient in your community? That one's complex, but you can break it down. One example is reducing food and maintenance costs to allow for more free money that can be applied to medical care. You get the idea.
Health statistics and data are important because they measure a wide range of health indicators for a community. A community can be the entire United States, a region, state, county, or city. Health data provide comparisons for clinical studies, can be used to assess costs of health care, can help identify needed prevention targets for such programs as Healthy People 2010, and are important for program planning and evaluation by finding a baseline against which to measure in the evaluation phase.
The sociological model of health places more emphasis on the environmental, social and economic causes of disease rather than solely focusing on the biological aspect- as seen in the Medical Model. Health promotion and disease prevention is a key aspect, instead of relying on the treatment. Although medicine is often still required, the focus is primarily on self-help and community activity to treat the patient. By finding the root of the issue and solving the cause, the problem is less likely to re-surface. The sociological model of health is the preferred model for mental health issues as it takes into consideration the individual's social state- such as their position in the community, the interaction between them and their environment, poverty and housing issues- rahter than diagnosing it as a 'disease' at face-value.
