Batallando Contra la Crisis de Salud Hispana en el 2012
Otra vez, regresamos a las promesas del año nuevo y las esperanzas de mejorar nuestras vidas y salud. Si, ese momento en el que con buena intención prometemos decir no a la comida basura, a las libras de más, a la vida sedentaria, a los pensamientos negativos y la lista sigue. Promesas exigentes y llenas de ilusión que basado en un estudio Británico un tercio de ellas se abandonan en una semana.
El problema es que la meta de una vida saludable es cada día más imprescindible y no nos podemos dar el lujo de no obtenerla. La comunidad Latina tiene mayores riesgos de obesidad y diabetes q....

La Red Health Center's economic impact in Sussex County
It should be noted that, federal dollars in excess of $1.6 million awarded to La Red Health Center and brought into Sussex County, Delaware via the FQHC, RHOG, IDS, CIP and other grants contribute significantly to LRHC's ability to create an economic impact.

Perry, Cain, and Medicare: a 2011 View of a 1966 Prediction
Most political candidates stick to bland platitudes on Medicare, but two are under liberal attack for telling the truth about our doomed entitlement programs.
Governor Rick Perry has been accused of thinking that Medicare is unconstitutional. He told Andrew Romano in a 2010 Newsweek interview that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme, and that we needed to talk about the $106 trillion in unfunded liabilities of Medicare and Medicaid (Title 18 and Title 19 of Social Security, respectively). When confronted about statements on Social Security in his book Fed Up!, he made conflicting statements....

Iglesia Betel organiza feria de salud el 19 de noviembre
Georgetown, DE – A la pastora Gilda Nieves-Knight de la Iglesia Metodista Unida Betel le parece interesante que cuando un coche emite ruidos extraños, el dueño responde de inmediato y busca la ayuda de un mecánico.
Pero cuando el cuerpo humano hace lo mismo, mostrar señales de peligro en formas sutiles, el propietario muchas veces ignora las señales de advertencia.
Para crear más consciencia sobre el cuidado de la salud en la comunidad latina – donde existen tasas altas de enfermedades crónicas como diabetes, presión alta y obesidad – la Iglesia Betel se unió con Beebe Medical Center....

Got Drugs? Turn in unused and expired medication on Saturday, October 29
Prescription drug abuse is the fastest growing drug problem in the United States. National Take-Back Day provides a safe and easy way to dispose of these medications, since throwing the substances away provides an easy source of drugs for those who would abuse or sell them, and flushing drugs can result in water contamination.
Drop-off sites are located statewide, and the process is free and anonymous. State and local police agencies, the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, pharmacies, educational institutions, and retirement communities have teamed up to host drop-off sites s....

To avoid breast cancer, take that cell phone out of your bra
For many young women today, tucking cell phones in the bra has become a cool, hip way to have simple access to these essential devices. They can jog, drive, shop or sit in darkened movie theatres, quickly responding to tingled vibrations at their breast. Most of us have no idea that cell phones are small two-way microwave radios that should not be kept directly on the body.
As the month of breast cancer awareness, October finds the media packed with warnings about the disease. What's missing from this welcome public attention is the fact that the ways some people are using their phones to....

Roll Over Hippocrates
Everybody seems to think that doctors swear to the Oath of Hippocrates, and follow a long ethical tradition dating back to the 5th century before Christ.
Not anymore. The new doctors seem to be making it up as they go along. The tradition is not being set by a white beard who sat at many a patient’s bedside, taught a generation or more of disciples, earned the respect of his contemporary colleagues, and wrote a corpus of observations and reflections still esteemed millennia after his death.
For example, the oath taken by the first graduating cl....

La pediatra Marisel Santiago responde a las preguntas de las mamás
Una de las preguntas más comunes de los padres es “mi hijo tiene fiebre, ¿qué puedo hacer?”
La fiebre es un síntoma, no una enfermedad, es la respuesta del cuerpo a infecciones y juega el papel de defendernos y pelear contra ellas. Puede ser debida a muchas causas, las más comunes en niños son infecciones menores virales como catarro (gripe), infecciones de garganta u oído. La fiebre activa el sistema inmune del cuerpo y usualmente no es dañina ni peligrosa, la dentición no debe producir fiebre significativa.
¿Qué es fiebre?
