1. Sentinel City Healthcare Center	Mental Health Center	(Baribeau, Wong, Monga, Pignatiello & Ickowicz, 2016)	The cases of mental health are likely to increase if the resources are not provided. Mental health demands a special approach. Therefore, there is a dire need to have mental health centers that specifically deals with mental disorders.
2. Sentinel City Nursing Home	Social Halls	(Capolongo et al. 2016)	Social halls play an essential role in mental health. Social halls will improve the mental health of the population. If the social halls will not be provided, stress levels among residents will increase and this will affect population health negatively.
3. Acer Tech at Sentinel City	Community Health Education Centers	(Doyle, Ward, & Early, 2018)	Community Health Education Centers act as avenues where members of the community are educated more about their health. If the centers will not be provided, the health of the population will deteriorate.
