| Statewide Interest: |
| The state of the Health of a major part of the target population has not been up to standard and is not in harmony with "Healthy People 2010" of the United States Department of Health. The target population is comprised of about 100,000 at risk people including but not limited to: mothers, children, infants, youth, family members and elderly. Many of the cross-cultural groups (Mexicans, Nicaraguans and Haitians) and other minorities residing in Central Florida confront a New World where the Health indicators such as availabilty, accessiblity, acceptability and costs appear confusing to them. Recent study reveals many of the target groups are exposed to various risk factors and without proper guidance in Health education, many of them residing in Central Florida neglect their health by not consulting a Physician until it is too late. This overburdens our emergency providers and our health agencies with higher related costs. |
