Latino Health Symposium at St Vincent De Paul Village

On April 20, 2013, St. Vincent de Paul Village was the host venue for the annual UCSD Family Medicine Latino Health Symposium. Several UCSD FM residents and faculty, including combined residents Dr. Kelley DeLeeuw and Dr. Andrea Gallardo, organized this day-long event to educate the Spanish-speaking Latino community. Offerings included blood pressure screening, a healthy lunch, free pedometers, and educational sessions in Spanish on topics ranging from hypertension and diabetes to mental health to "how to talk with your doctor." We are glad that we were able to offer this event to our community! Pictured at left are the residents who presented at the event: April Arias (FM PGY-3), Andrea Gallardo (Combined PGY-3), Monica Moya (FM PGY-3), Melissa Rossman (FM PGY-2), and Kelley DeLeeuw (Combined PGY-4).
