Conference Call with Secretary Sebelius and the Launch of CuidadoDeSalud.gov

Sep 9, 2010

Friends:

Yesterday, we launched www.cuidadodesalud.gov, the first website in Spanish of its kind to help consumers take control of their health care by connecting them to new information and resources that will help them access quality, affordable health care coverage.   President Obama wrote an op-ed in La Opinion and El Diario La Prensa today that highlights the website and the importance of health reform to the Latino community.  http://www.impre.com/laopinion/noticias/2010/9/7/los-latinos-y-la-salud-209385-1.html

Please join us today, Thursday, September 9th at 12pm EST/11AM CST/10AM MST/9AM PST as the White House Office of Public Engagement will host a conference call with Secretary Sebelius and staff from the Department of Health and Human Services to walk thru the website and take your questions.

Please share this information with your networks and affiliate organizations. This call is not intended for press.

Here is how to participate:

1.     Dial into the conference call 10 minutes early by calling (800) 553-0326 and tell the operator you are calling for “The Cuidado de Salud Call”

2.     Sign onto www.cuidadodesalud.gov to participate in the walk thru of the website

3.     Ask your questions and spread the word!

In her powerful memoir Building a Life Worth Living, Marsha M. Linehan takes readers on her journey from being a suicidal teenager to a noted psychologist. Linehan created the ground-breaking Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which was originally developed to treat Borderline Personality Disorder. Today, experts say the DBT method is used to treat a broad range of mental health challenges from anger management to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
