For 8-year-old Oscar, eye care is important. Now that he has received proper eye care, he can run around in the playground at school with other kids his age; all thanks to his visit to the optometrist.
The American Optometric association explains Amblyopia, or lazy eye, as generally the result of poor early visual development, and as such, usually occurs before the age of eight. Infants born prematurely, or with low birth weight, are at a greater risk for the development of this condition.

Huntington Park native, Vanessa Ávila, 27, always dreamed of being a doctor. However, with an average price tag of well over $100,000 a medical school education seemed like a daunting debt. More so, with the price of MCAT prep courses, and application fees, even simply applying seemed out of her reach. That all changed when she learned about a revolutionary new medical school in Cuba.

With the Supreme Court upholding Obamacare, and President Obama being re-elected, Obamacare is now inevitability. Obamacare is an overhaul of our current healthcare system, which will bring changes such as expanded Medicare coverage, an expanded time period in which young adults can be on their parent’s healthcare coverage, and making it harder for insurance companies to deny people with pre-existing health conditions.

La mayoría de los niños latinos no tienen acceso a cuidado dental. A pesar de ser el grupo minoritario infantil más grande en este país, no les está garantizado el cuidado bucal. Un reciente estudio titulado The Health of Latino Children: Urgent Priorities, Unanswered Questions and a Research Agenda explica que la presencia de caries es desproporcionadamente más alta entre los niños latinos que en otros grupos.
