DESCRIPTION:"Women’s Health Care in Guatemala"\n\nTalk by nurse practioner Chris 
 Nelson of Chico. Feb. 25, Sun., 6 pm, at 3709 Miller Way, 
 Sacramento\n\nEvery spring for 12 years, Chris Nelson, Women's Health Care 
 Nurse Practitioner in Chico, has led delegations of nursing students from 
 the US and Canada to Guatemala. The delegations are organized by Pueblo 
 Partisans, a Canadian NGO (www.pueblopartisans.org) and bring adult, 
 pediatric and gynecological screening to medically indigent people in poor 
 urban and rural communities in Guatemala for 6 weeks annually (with follow 
 up as needed after that).\n\nThe students and Chris pay their own way but 
 must fund-raise for medications and supplies for the clinics they do daily. 
 Most of the women they see can't afford the lab cost for their pap smears 
 and certainly can't afford follow up care when that is needed. They also 
 often have children and adults who require assistance in getting care for 
 serious health problems.\n\nIf you can assist with lab and treatment 
 expenses for Guatemalan people, please send a donation to Pueblo Partisans 
 by March 1st (or bring it to the talk on Feb. 25 in Sacramento), c/o Chris 
 Nelson, 2300B Estes Rd., Chico, CA 95928. Also, if you would like to donate 
 supplies, Chris would welcome multivitamins (prenatal, senior, children's) 
 and over-the-counter analgesics (pain medications like Tylenol, Advil, 
 etc.). Contact Chris 530-345-7590 (chris4pax@chico.com) if you have these 
 or other medications you wish to donate or if you would like more 
 information about their work in Guatemala.\n\nFor questions about the event 
 in Sacramento, please call Darien at 916-739-0860; CAAC at 916-457-5018 or 
 caac2@jps.net.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2007/02/19/18365527.php
