Public Health Services. The United States’ and Mexico’s health care systems have vari- ous programs and projects in place to promote health along the border. On the Mexican side, the Department of Health has health promotion offices in each of the 13 largest border cities, each of which has state-level support. On the U.S. side, some local health departments have health promotion sections that address spe- cific needs. In late 2003, a Binational Border Health Promotion Plan began to be created. The Binational Health Week that began in California in 2001 is one of the largest combined mobilization efforts (federal and state government agencies, community based organizations, and volunteers) designed to improve the health and well-being of the underserved Latino population living in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

The Ventanilla de Salud program is a partnership among local health advocacy and health services organizations and the Mexican consular network designed to incorporate bilingual, bicultural, and highly trained health educators and advocates as part of Mexican consular ser- vices in the United States to counsel clients on eligibility for gov- ernment-funded health insurance, other primary care services, and, when appropriate, various legal issues.

Xxxxxx Family Foundation), in 2004 all four U.S. border states had fewer than the overall United States average of non-federal physicians (28.1 per 10,000 population). There were fewer physicians per 10,000 population in each of the four border states than in the U.S. as a whole, by as much as 22% in Texas and as little as 7% in California. The same is true for registered nurses: the ratio of registered nurses per 10,000 population in the four U.S. border states is approximately 20% lo...
