Semana Binacional de Salud en

el Condado de Santa Clara

Estimados amigos:

Debido al crecimiento de la población de origen mexicano en los Estados Unidos de

América y siendo conscientes de que las enfermedades no reconocen fronteras, los

funcionarios públicos, profesionales de la salud, investigadores académicos y

organizaciones comunitarias tanto de México como de Estados Unidos han sumado

esfuerzos para atender las necesidades de salud de la población de origen mexicano en

este país y desde el año 2000 crearon el programa “Semana Binacional de Salud”.

De este modo, la Semana Binacional de Salud se ha convertido en un esfuerzo

conjunto, organizado por la Iniciativa de Salud de las Américas, la Comisión de Salud

Fronteriza México - Estados Unidos, la Universidad de California, entidades federales,

estatales y locales, tanto públicas como privadas, organizaciones no gubernamentales,

grupos legislativos, clínicas, universidades, asociaciones comunitarias, clubes de

oriundos, agencias financieras, organismos privados y voluntarios.

Este año, una vez más unimos esfuerzos con las autoridades locales y diferentes

organizaciones para celebrar la Semana Binacional de Salud 2017. Seguiremos

informando al público sobre los servicios que están a su disposición de manera gratuita

o a bajos costos y ofreceremos atención médica básica, además de orientación general,

talleres de educación preventiva y actividades de salud ocupacional, aplicaremos

vacunas contra la influenza y personal calificado orientará a las familias sobre el acceso

a seguros de salud para todos.

A diferencia de años pasados, este año también ofreceremos asesoría financiera para

que nuestra comunidad incremente sus niveles de bienestar, disminuyamos las tasas de

muerte, de enfermedades crónicas (como la diabetes, las enfermedades cardíacas y el

cáncer), de desarrollar adicciones al cigarro y al alcohol, de desarrollar otros factores de

riesgo (como una nutrición deficiente, inactividad física y obesidad), además de mejorar

nuestra salud mental y controlar nuestros niveles de estrés causados por unas malas

finanzas.

Los invito a participar con sus familias en la Semana Binacional de Salud 2017 y a que

visiten el Consulado General de México en San José el resto del año para seguirse

beneficiando de los recursos comunitarios que ofrecemos de manera gratuita, segura y

en español, incluyendo los servicios de la Ventanilla de la Salud y de la Ventanilla de

Asesoría Financiera.

A nombre del Consulado General de México en San José, aprovecho esta oportunidad

para agradecer a las autoridades del Condado de Santa Clara, San Benito, Santa Cruz y

Monterey por su compromiso con nuestra comunidad y por seguir impulsando esta

iniciativa que contribuye al bienestar de todos.

Binational Health Week in

Santa Clara County

Our goal for this thirteenth consecutive Binational Health Week is to reach

out to even more community residents living in Santa Clara County. We will

do this through a series of health activities and events during the month of

October, including health fairs, educational workshops, and more. All of

these efforts are focused on improving the health and quality of life for

Latinos and all residents living in Santa Clara County.

This year, we also must acknowledge that federal anti-immigration policies

and actions have created a climate of fear and uncertainty for many families,

neighborhoods, and entire communities. Fear and uncertainty erode the

health of our communities. Among other consequences, this fear can keep

people from seeking the services they need and deserve to receive, as well

as keep them from using outdoor spaces, reporting crimes, or even driving

to get healthy food. Together, we stand united with all residents of Santa

Clara County. Santa Clara County is committed to protecting the safety and

well-being of all residents. We are privileged to live in a region rich in

diversity of every kind, where nearly 40% of our residents were born outside

the United States. The vibrancy of our local economy, culture, history, and

neighborhoods comes from the people from every corner of the globe who

live and work here.

The County of Santa Clara, the Consulate General of México in San José and

dozens of community partners contribute to one of the largest mobilization efforts

of federal and state government agencies, community-based organizations, and

volunteers in the Americas to improve the health and well-being of the

underserved Latino population living in the United States and Canada. Since the

inception of BHW in Santa Clara County in 2005, we have hosted over 220

community events, reached over 169,000 residents, administered 21,993 health

screenings and collaborated with over 660 agencies.

In this spirit, I invite you to join us in the Binational Health Week celebration

by attending an event, celebrating our diversity, strengthening our culture of

inclusion, or by joining us as a future community partner. By working

together, we can make a difference in the lives of Santa Clara County

families and residents.

In solidarity,
