2 ANNE MARIE WEISS ARMUSH PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER Maintaining good health is a special preoccupation for New Americans, more than half of whom lack insurance. With all North Texans in mind, since 2003 we have published a Guide that has helped thousands of people access free or low cost medical attention. This project is made possible by corporate partners who value the contributions of the New Americans who revitalize our nation as well as those who were born here. We recognize that we are unique in the world because all Americans except for our indigenous people are descended from immigrants. Throughout our history we have relied on the expertise, strength, and special skills of foreign workers. Their cultures and the challenges they continue to face as they assimilate are the story of our country. Their hopes and dreams, their belief in family and freedom, continue to enrich and energize America. NorthTexas es una región en la que viven más de un millón de hispanos y una tercera parte de ellos no tiene seguro de salud. Es por este motivo que DFW Internacional ha considerado sumamente prioritario editar esta guía que hoy llega a sus manos. Nuestro objetivo al realizarla es poder retribuir mínimamente a toda la comunidad de habla hispana, lo mucho que aportan a nuestro pueblo con su presencia, permitiéndonos disfrutar a diario de sus costumbres y cultura, las que al amalgamarse con las nuestras, nos produce un real enriquecimiento individual y colectivo. Esperamos que esta guía les sea de mucha utilidad, compensede alguna manera la incomprensión de algunos, valorice la sensibilidad de quienes están dispuestos a ayudarlesdesinteresadamente a conservar vuestra salud ese bien tan preciado por todo ser humano, y la consideren como una muestra de gratitud y cariño de nuestra nación hacia la comunidad latina.
