“The basic role of the foundation is healthcare-related sustainable social investment. That’s the way I view it,’’ he said. “It doesn’t work if everybody isn’t involved.’’
Since its inception in 1993, the Health Foundation has awarded more than $104 million in grants to 330 organizations to support community health programs in South Florida......
.......the group’s leadership has focused the Health Foundation’s efforts on specific areas, including primary care, behavioral health, preventive health and programs that promote good nutrition and regular physical activity — funding priorities that receive about 80 percent of grants."
The Health Foundation also funds strategic initiatives that can take two to seven years, including programs to promote healthy aging, school fitness and nursing through scholarships.
“You just can’t address health problems in one population or one ethnic group,’’ Marcus said. “You have to apply different methods and different approaches to different populations.’’
Wow, that must mean the Cuban Navy is overwhelmed keeping refugees from sailing in.
Education Marxist indoctrination is also considered a right responsibility of every citizen and is provided free of charge mandated at every level.
Compulsory "Public" Education (and the Marxist Propaganda it is wrapped in) sure has its advantages for authoritarian regimes to maintain their hold on power.
At least we don't have that here in the US. Oh wait...
Personally I think the economy and the real employment numbers in context should be near the top of the heap. The numbers are truly manufactured if you’re really paying attention to the world around you.
If Cuba is such a success then why have thousands and thousands risked their lives trying to escape from there and virtually nobody has ever risked their live trying to immigrate and live there?
Blah, blah, blah, blah..................
Is that “FREEDOM” thingy somewhere in the mix?
Didn’t think so.
This is from PBS, and my first thought was - OMFG - MY TAX DOLLARS PAID FOR THIS BULLSH!!
My second thought was that the first statement from the article is amusing if you have enough critical thinking skills to understand that Cuba's GDP per capita would undoubtedly be infinitely higher if it weren't for the dead hand of Communism holding them back. These pointy headed ultra lefties love to use Cuba as an example of how good things are under socialism, but ignore all the reports about how bad life in Cuba really is.
As the great philosopher Ron White says, "Ya can't fix stupid".
Wow. A communist run and financed broadcasting company worshipping a communist dictatorship. Shocker.
