  • FREE Arthritis Information for Hispanic Seniors

  • Arthritis is one of the most common diseases in the U.S., affecting millions of adults and half of all people age 65 and older. Although there is no cure for most forms of arthritis, treatment can help patients manage their symptoms and improve their overall quality of life. The choice of treatment depends on the type of arthritis, the severity of symptoms, the patient's general health, and other factors.

    The National Institute on Aging (NIA) is offering a free fact sheet in Spanish about treatments for the most common forms of arthritis -- osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout. "Consejos Sobre la Artritis"

    To order copies of "Consejos Sobre la Artritis", call 1-800-222-2225 toll free. The NIA Information Center is open weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. eastern time or go to our Web site at www.niapublications.org

    Clases de RCP y Primeros Auxilios Pediátricos se Ofrecen en Español En Nampa y Blackfoot

    Ambos padres y proveedores del cuidado infantil se preparen para el verano—la época para las actividades al aire libre y al lado del agua.

    El precio para la instrucción y los libros puede variar entre las comunidades de Nampa y Blackfoot, pero el "costo" de no prepararse es muy alto. Padres de familia, sus parientes y los otros adultos que cuidan niños pueden prevenir tragedias por tomar las clases de resucitación cardiaco-pulmonar (RCP) y primeros auxilios.
    Qué: RCP y Primeros Auxilios Pediátricos en Español
    Quién: Ricardo Tews (Blackfoot) / Víctor Islas (Nampa)
    Dónde: Centro Cultural Hispánico, 315 Stampede Dr., Nampa (frente del parque) Hospital de Bingham Memorial, 98 Poplar St., Blackfoot
