Primary Care Health Resources
A Beginning Guide to Resources for Small Community-Based Primary Care Clinics (under construction)
The following are resources we thought you might find helpful in developing or improving your small community-based primary care clinic. Don't spend your time on forms, etc. Most of these are from the Agape/Baylor Community Care Program - a mission-oriented primary care clinic and outreach program. Feel free to copy these for your own use. Because things change in HTML when printing, it is probably best to paste documents into Word or whatever, reformat and change the names, etc. Please send additional resources.

- Quality Spanish-English patient instructions and information at familydoctor.org - part of American Academy of Family Physicians site. One of the least complex - hence best - patient education sites. Also check out site (el diccionario de especialidades farmacéuticas), where you can look up those mysterious drugs from Mexico: http://www.facmed.unam.mx/bmnd/plm/otros/default.htm (thanks David Wright at AAFP). Medications from much of Latin America covered at PLM Latina.com. Click the country and see the dictionary. Thanks to R. Gordner, National Library of Medicine. Also see MedLine Plus at http://medlineplus.gov/ Medline has Spanish and English info; but more complex than AAFP site - which is still the best in most cases.
