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!

NASW Joins Brief to Support Juvenile Rights in Legal Settings

While adolescents are capable of sound decision-making in more calm and deliberative settings, the brief argues that the stress and time pressure of plea bargaining specifically undermine their ability to knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waive important legal rights.
