I believe your proposed program would be perfect for the San Juan Community Center (when the building is renovated), in broad partnership with the other health programs mentioned and with my literacy nonprofit that tries to "fill in the cracks" by publicizing all adult and family literacy opportunities in Hidalgo County, quarterly, as well as providing yeararound literacy opportunities for those who aren't eligible for other programs or who can't get the help they need elsewhere. The small city of San Juan, stretching to give us program funding, is especially interested in supporting health education and any services possible. The nonprofit doctors' organizations we've already contacted are game to be part of the Center, but they want us to run the program, and they will show up and do their thing. We've been thinking in terms of monthly visits, screening, health education meetings, health fairs, etc. (The psychologists's group is all ready to go, and their office is nearly finished.) You can see that your proposition is just exactly what we need..
