In today's Sunday edition of Palm Beach Post...

In today's Post, there is a very interesting article about a community health event in Lake Worth at the Shuffleboard Courts. Also worth noting is the reporter who wrote the article, Liz Balmaseda. Ms. Balmaseda is the recipient of not one, but two Pulitzer Prizes for reporting. You can read about her extensive career here.

At first glance, the small community health fair set up in the Lake Worth Shuffleboard Courts Saturday seemed a simple collection of information booths, medical displays and pamphlets.
But this effort by Palm Beach Atlantic University’s Lloyd L. Gregory School of Pharmacy was quite a big deal to Saul Lopez, an uninsured farmworker concerned about his blood sugar, his blood pressure and a flash of localized pain.

Mara Martinez, a community outreach worker with the Guatemalan-Maya Center in Lake Worth, says sometimes an undocumented immigrant’s hesitation in speaking to medical workers is rooted in a simple language barrier.
“There’s a lot of fear. When they are asked if they are a ‘resident,’ they may not understand they’re simply being asked if they live here, not if they have a green card,” said Martinez, who staffed the center’s colorfully decorated table at the fair. “This is why events like this are so important.”
