Integration of health care services is a major focus. Administrative and health care personnel sit down regularly to focus on location health care needs. Multiple services are provided that vary depending upon the site including primary care, dental care, counseling services, women's health, health promotion and education, podiatry, physiotherapy, case management, advocacy and intervention. The mission of Community Health Centers depends upon creating collaborative relationships with industry, government, hospitals and other health services. However, the LegiStorm is causing something of an uproar on Capitol Hill. It isn't that LegiStorm does something illegal or immoral, it has something to do with the fact that it does something that Congress hates – it keeps them accountable. Everything gets posted, from congressional salaries, to what they pay their staffs and aides, their personal loans and terms of them (that's right, Chris Dodd), even gifts they've received and from where. There are also all trips taken to where and by whom, and how much it cost. (Fact finding missions in Dubai and Australia add up.) Congress people are miffed, and would love to get personal loans to put LegiStorm out of business.

This year, UNICEFs flagship report, The State of the Worlds Children to be launched on 15 January addresses the need to close one of the greatest health divides between industrialized and developing countries: maternal mortality. Here is one in a series of related stories. By Thomas Nybo KOLDA, Senegal, 13 January 2009 Daddo Sabaly's first four children all died before their first birthday, from either disease or malnutrition. Ms. Sabaly lives in the Kolda region of Senegal, which historically has had one of the country's highest rates of infant mortality. Her fifth child, a boy named Abdoulaye, is now five. Her sixth is a healthy nine-month-old girl. Ms. Sabaly credits a community health centre for her children's survival, as well as a community nutrition programme that identifies local food resources such as squash, eggs and milk. Before this programme, feeding children these products was considered taboo. "At first, Abdoulaye was suffering from malnutrition," she says. "But we went to the community centre, where I learned to properly feed him and he got better." To read the full story, visit: http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/senegal_47113.html
