Su Familia offers Hispanic consumers free reliable and confidential health information in Spanish and English and helps navigate callers through the health system. Staffed by bilingual health information specialists the helpline provides basic information on a wide range of health topics. Using zip code information to search our up-to-date database of over 20,000 providers, health information specialists are able to refer consumers to health care facilities in their community. To provide consumers with culturally proficient health information, over 100 Fact Sheets have been developed on a wide array of health topics, including: cancer and cancer treatment; cardiovascular disease; child and adult immunizations; diabetes; HIV/AIDS, and mental health issues. Over half are available in Spanish and are available on the Alliance web site. The helpline was instrumental in the quick response of La Promesa Medicare Prescription Drug Program answering over 5,620 calls. The Helpline has provided over 17,000 consumer referrals in 2006. In addition, by the end of 2006 the Helpline will upgrade its referral database to allow for online surveys of its 20,000 plus providers. Future upgrades will include direct online consumer access.
