Hospital Plans Forum to Raise Diabetes Awareness
White Memorial Medical Center will offer a free diabetes forum Saturday in an attempt to raise awareness in the Latino community about the chronic disease.
Dr. Jaime Davidson, clinical assistant professor at the University of Texas, will be the guest speaker. He will be joined by East Los Angeles physicians.
About one-fourth of all people of Mexican and Puerto Rican descent between the ages of 45 and 74 have diabetes, doctors said.
The forum will be held from 9 a.m. to noon at the hospital, 1720 Cesar E. Chavez Ave.
