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. Health-promotion and health-education activities are held throughout the border during this week. The launching of a health station (Ventanilla de Salud) at the Mexican Consulate in El Paso in April 2006 marks the fourth such station in an initiative operating throughout the United States– Mexico border, along with those in San Diego (California), McAllen (Texas), and Tucson (Arizona). 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. Based on the 2000 census, access to piped water within the house is 90% or higher in U.S. border communities. In Mexico’s border communities, access is lower, ranging from a low of 66% in Xxxxx to a high of 85% in Ciudad Xxxxxx and Piedras Negras. Human Resources According to data published online in xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx (a website that is part of The Xxxxx X. 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...

Public Health Services. The City County of Denver (the “City) and Denver Health and Hospital Authority (the “Authority”) have collaborated since 1997 to provide public health services in Denver, and the City’s Charter and this Agreement have served as the legal basis for this collaboration. The parties agree that the City’s Department of Public Health & Environment (“DDPHE”) provides the rule- making, enforcement of laws and adjudicatory or quasi-adjudicatory functions. As indicated in the City Charter, DDPHE is charged with the “Performance of functions assigned to law by local health departments, health administrators, the environmental health department, of the health officer of the City and County of Denver.” DDPHE, in turn, uses the Authority’s Department of Public Health (“DPH”) for medical advice and services. The City and the Authority each recognize and respect the vital role that each entity plays in the provision of public health services to the residents and visitors of the City, and believe that public health in Denver is best provided through partnership: a partnership where distinct roles are clearly understood and regular communication is critically important.
