A week of healthy ideas for immigrant community

“It’s easy to whine about how the skyrocketing cost of health care means low-income people can’t afford it. It’s harder to do something about it.

The Santa Clara County Public Health Department, working in conjunction with the Mexican Consulate of San Jose, is taking a big step in that direction by jointly sponsoring Binational Health Week. The weeklong effort, which is open to all, kicks off today at the county government center and continues with a range of events and activities aimed at improving the health of Latino immigrants.”
