This site is
produced by Carl Gilbert, M.D., F.A.C.S.* , a board
certified surgeon in private practice in Cincinnati, Ohio (USA).
Dr. Gilbert is also a freelance writer with journalistic
experience. He is very much involved in his community and devotes a
good part of his times taking care of less fortunate people. He is
often on the radio, giving medical advice or talking of issues that
create health disparities in America.
Dr. Gilbert likes what he's doing. He has great hope this site will
help improving the quality of healthcare for minorities. Fostering no racial antagonism, he invites everybody to
visit the site.
Our goal is to make it larger and as comprehensive as
possible, with all the
interactive tools capable of bringing
you from many different sources a high level of knowledge needed to
make you, your children, your families and your fellow citizens,
healthier from a physical, mental and social standpoint.
Pursuing that goal, we will have a
Chat Room where you can enjoy the company of other Internet surfers,
also a Forum Board where you can tackle the burning issues simmering or
making headlines in the US or the world, especially if they impact our daily
living or health.
An
E-Newsletter
will be produced every
now and then to keep you abreast of what is happening on the site. By
providing your e-mail address, we are pleased to make this newsletter
available to you. Pursuant
to All About Latino Health policy, we will at all times attempt to keep private
and protected any personal information you provide to us.
Why a site about Latino
Health?
It was born out of the context in which statistics on
Hispanic/Latino health are telling a different story despite multiple medical
breakthroughs in research and treatment.
Our site also brings you facts concerning you and your
body, in a way that is simple and easy,
purely for purposes of information and education, without trying to replace
your physician or other advanced sources of info -- even though all of its
info will be coming from respectable and expert sources, and from life
experiences of folks living in our communities. All health or
medical information will be reviewed by the editor or trained health
providers to provide a high level of accuracy.
Objectives:
Even
when the larger media coverage stops, the medical and health coverage
of this site will continue so the burning issues impacting the
Hispanic minorities
stay in the forefront.

you with related documentation on subjects discussed on this site. The
