Strengths
Although the community of Poland is quite small, they adequately have the news available at its populations fingertips. Having the Town Crier available in the majority of businesses around Poland, as well as online, makes it convenient and easy to stay up to date with the latest news. There are many hotlines that can be reached within the Poland community, and because of this, it allows the people of Poland to reach out and receive help they seek. It allows them to feel safe and like they're not alone.
Weaknesses
The communications infrastructure in Poland is still poor. Many homes are still without telephone services, and those that do have telephone lines, pay high amounts of money for Internet service. Most dial-up connections are used by companies, but even they have issues. There is no medical media found within the Poland community. Although it's neighboring community, Boardman, has multiple billboards encouraging healthy eating habits as well as the average wait time at the nearest hospital, these important messages are not immediately reaching the population within Poland.
