what

As a Public Health committee part of Flying Samaritans, we dedicate our time to promote healthy habits in the community of Ensenada, (B.C. México). We assist to our clinics every month and give health presentations about health topics that are of interest to our patients. We also provide counseling for specific topics and try to orient patients to adopt healthy behaviors as a method of prevention of possible predisposed diseases.

how

We organize presentations about a health topic explaining what it is, the cause, treatment, preventive behaviors, etc… We also provide patients with personal counseling to serve their comfort levels when discussing concerns and questions they may have. We understand and must keep in mind that we have limits to what we have to say because we are not licensed doctors; therefore, we may not suggest any treatment or a diagnosis of any kind. For this matter we are responsible for referring patients to our Flying Samaritans doctor available or to their primary care physician in their community.

why

As part of our mission, the Public Health Committee is responsible for promoting healthy lifestyles by means of education and prevention while raising awareness on the health conditions that are prevalent in the Ensenada community.
