Hispanic Heritage Month Observed By Carla Garnett
Researchers know that good dental health is a sign of good overall
health. They can prove that family counseling can improve the lives
of troubled youth, and there is evidence that care providers have a
wealth of tools to fight mental health problems. None of this
information can help, however, if those in the medical community
are the only ones who know about it. Somehow, these and other
health messages — messages that lead people to seek
necessary medical services — must reach the populations
they intend to serve, specifically Hispanics/Latinos, the fastest
growing minority in the United States, in Montgomery County, Md.,
and also one of the most underserved. |
