Tomando el toro por los cuernos

En la noche de hoy, por WKVM 810AM la doctora Lidia Martinez Vazquez y el Dr. Nestor J Galarza Diaz trataron el tema de actualidad de ASSMCA y sus programas pilotos de transformacion de los servicios de salud mental.

En la antigua Clinica de San Patricio en Puerto Nuevo, ahora re bautizada El Centro de Salud Mental Comunitario, psiquiatras, psicologos, trabajadores sociales, personal de enfermeria, consejeros, terapistas ocupacionales y recreativos tiene la ardua tarea de trabajar (tomar por los cuernos) por los participantes del programa y en contra de las enfermedades mentales (el toro).

Una transformacion fisica y administrativa espera hacer la diferencia en estos servicios. El programa finalizo con entusiasmo.

Importantes preguntaque se contesto: como se va a medir la calidad de los servicios.

Agradecemos a la profesora Dra. Martinez Vazquez su participacion y trasmision de alegria y entusiasmo.
