Millions of Mexican immigrants now rely on the American health system for their daily needs. To accommodate those needs, a host of Omaha health providers and social service agencies are sponsoring the second annual Bi-National Health Week, October 15-20.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Various issues are highlighted through a week of education, screenings and fun for the entire family. A schedule of events can be found at www.unmc.edu. Click “News,” then “News Releases.” (See detailed list below).<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The collaboration began 17 years ago between Mexico and California, but has spread across America with the growth of immigration. This year, the week is expected to provide health-related interventions to at least 250,000 people in 24 states.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Locally, Bi-National Health Week activities are scheduled in Omaha. Though organizers are targeting low-income and underserved populations regardless of citizenship, all activities and screenings are open to the public.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The programming will focus on traditional medicine, cancer, diabetes, blood pressure and cholesterol, nutrition, dental health, lead screenings, vision screenings, carbon dioxide screenings (for smokers), infectious diseases (STD\/HIV\/tuberculosis), breast cancer, wellness living, and occupational injuries. Outreach activities will include enrolling eligible people in existing health programs and offering bi-lingual guides to insurance and public benefits programs.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
“We know that Mexicans are more prone to diabetes, heart disease and certain types of cancers, so it is very important that they know how to access the American health system. Also, it is important that Mexican immigrants working in a number of potentially hazardous industrial occupations understand the nature of their working environments and their rights to safety,” said Enrique Lopez-Reyes, coordinator of the Institute for Mexicans Abroad at the Mexican Consulate in Omaha. <\/div>\n
