The paper then outlines recruitment and hiring strategies, reviews key employment laws (the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the ADEA, and the ADA), and reflects on how the role has evolved over the past five years toward equitable access and community-centered health promotion. HR principles such as inclusivity, clarity, and legal compliance are discussed throughout.
