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!

Thank you!

Recent Child Care Updates

Since the start of the new year there have been several new developments regarding child care. Childcare has been a consistent conversation among parents, social workers, child advocates, and the childcare workforce because the costs of care are rising. Without affordable child care, some parents leave the workforce, and some spend more than 7% of their income on care while paying for other necessities. Childcare is plagued with long waitlists, low compensation for workers and some rural communities have few options to access care.
